12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” 13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. 14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing— grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God. 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly. —Joel 2:12-15

Prayer for the day

Father,

My heart is so grieved and I repent of the many ways I have sinned against you. Thank you for your grace that has drawn me near to help me to see my sin and separate myself from it. I choose to follow after you, Jesus, the One who saved me, healed me and delivered me. My heart is yours, Lord. Have your way.

Amen
