Living God,
God of abundant
love, of steadfast love,
we bow in awe before
you.
Yet even as we bow we
confess
we have been quick to
turn away from
you and from the way you
have commanded.
May we be born from
above, born of the Spirit,
that we may turn from
our sin and be faithful to you.

I will bow down toward your holy temple

Then I saw that you had indeed sinned against the LORD your
God, by casting for yourselves an image of a calf; you had been quick to turn
from the way that the LORD had commanded you.

Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have
an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
John 3:7-8
"…Do not be astonished that I
said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it
chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from
or where it goes. So it is with everyone
who is born of the Spirit.” [Jesus to Nicodemus]
