The Silent Meditation upon Entering the Sanctuary

“Perfectionism is a self-destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of

shame, judgment, and blame.”— BRENÉ BROWN

“We can rest in that deep security and know that we have significance in being made in His (God’s) image and in being a child of God, saved by His grace, not by anything we have done or earned.

At the deepest level, understanding and experiencing God’s grace is the key to unlocking the prison of perfectionism”

— RICHARD WINTER

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”— JESUS

The Morning Prayers

The Call to Confession – Isaiah 30:15, 18,

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!

The Silent, Personal Prayer of Confession

The Corporate Prayer of Confession

God of grace, You love us, but we have not loved You. You call, but we have not listened. We walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped up in our own concerns. By our actions and our attitudes we praise what You condemn. Help us to admit our sin, so that as You come to us in mercy we may repent, turn to You, and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen. The Assurance of God's Pardon – Zephaniah 3:14-15

Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil.
