Almighty God, as I begin this period of time set aside for reflection and repentance, help me to clearly see and be totally reflection and repentance, help me to clearly see and be totally aware of my sinfulness. Convicted of my sins, lead me to a complete dependence on your grace and mercy in Christ. Help me change my sinful life, so that I may be an effective witness to your power at work. I come before you in Jesus name. Amen.
