A Collect for Repentance

Holy Father, whose kingdom is present now and always, show us where we have failed to enter your kingdom, and give us the desire to turn away from the false promises of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Give us a willing heart to turn to you and live in full relationship with a loving Lord, through Jesus Christ who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

'Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."' - Mark 1:14-15
