the right track…
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

Prayer of Invocation: Isaiah 55: 1-9 We gather today, O Lord of Life, seeking fullness. Not the fullness our world offers, but fullness that comes from You.
