Lent – Friday 4 March
“They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God … The man said, ‘The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.’ Then the Lord God said to the woman, ‘What is this that you have done?’ The woman said, ‘The serpent tricked me, and I ate.’ “
God of forgiveness,
we bring our broken lives and our broken world before you:
mend our relationship with you,
with one another,
and with the world you gifted us.
Amen.
