SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 12:1–6
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
Bill Gabbard
Lord, sometimes our lives have such little focus: We have so much to do; We possess so much; We’re driven by the need for still more—and it easily seems to control us. We are sorry, Lord, for how distracted we have become and for losing our way without even realizing it. Forgive us and help us to know that you are the only one we need. Amen. ASSURANCE OF PARDON Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. Amen, and amen!

You will say in that day: I will give thanks to you, O Lord, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, and you comforted me.
