Ecclesiastes 3:1,7
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

O Gentle Healer,
     my sin has torn me in two.
In silence I come to seek your forgiveness.
Bind up my wounds
So that I may hear your voice and be made new.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
