Adapted from Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it,

the world, and those who live in it;

for he has founded it on the seas,

and established it on the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,

who do not lift up their souls to what is false,

and do not swear deceitfully.

Adapted from Psalm 119:9,11,105

How can a young person keep their way pure? 

By living according to your word. 

I have hidden your word in my heart, 

That I might not sin against you. 

Your word is a lamp unto my feet, 

And a light unto my path. Almighty God, lead us through our questions today with your powerful word.

Adapted from Psalm 142

Leader:   With my voice I cry to You, Lord; I pour out my complaint; I tell my trouble before You.

People: When my spirit is faint, I cry to You, Lord; for You are my refuge. Give heed to my cry, so that I may praise Your name. I lay before You my sin, my hope, my failing and my ambition, and I lift to You my heart for guidance and cleansing.

Let us exalt You, O God and King;  we will praise Your name.

People:  Every day we will praise You and extol Your name for ever and ever.
