Guard Our Hearts and Minds--Feb. 12, 2016
Lord Jesus, you do
not despise or abhor
the affliction of the
afflicted--
hear us when we cry
to you.
Cast away from us all
the transgressions
we have committed
against you;
give us a new heart,
new spirit.
Your peace surpasses
all understanding;
as you send us into
the world,
even as God sent you there,
guard our hearts and
minds.
