God of power and justice,
like Jeremiah you weep over those
who wander from you,
turn aside to other gods,
and enter into chaos and destruction.
By your tears and through your mercy,
teach us your ways
and write them on our hearts
so that we may follow faithfully
the path you show us. Amen.

O God, Spirit of righteousness,
you temper judgment with mercy.
Help us to live the covenant written upon our hearts
so that when Christ returns
we may be found worthy
to be received by grace into your presence. Amen.
