Almighty Father,
 
On this Sabbath of Repentance,
we, thy children, come unto Thee,
sure of Thy nearness,
and seeking to renew our hope.
We recall the mistakes
and disappointments
and sorrows of the year that is past,
and also its challenge to us
to renew our faith
and serve Thee
with our whole hearts and souls.
Oh God,
help us to do better and to be better.
Teach us to serve,
so that we may bring nearer the day
when oppression will be overthrown,
and the life of the world
will be founded on justice and good will.
We think today especially of the children in our midst.
Let them enjoy in peace the fulness of life,
the realisation of joy,
and the revelation of beauty.
We think of the sufferers of all nations
and pray
that through recognising the reality of Thy presence,
we shall all be quickly let out of darkness to light,
from doubt to faith,
from mistrust to lasting confidence.
Amen.
