Gracious Heavenly Father

In Your mercy, Come!

Come and rescue Your people once again

 *

Forgive us Lord for our complacency and arrogance

* 

For believing that our technology would somehow keep us safe

And for being partakers of our own selfish nature rather than Your divine nature

For believing that we were the exception to the lessons of all human history

And for imagining that we could build a Utopian society without You

 *

Forgive us Lord for seeking Your hand instead of Your face

 *

For believing that we could change men’s hearts with our words instead of Yours

And for assuming we could contrive an authentic form of justice without Your involvement

For choosing our own “righteous indignation” over Your righteousness

And for being more concerned with making our point than with representing Your heart

 *

Forgive us Lord for investing our identities in things other than being Your children

 *

For having more faith in the power of our minds than in the power of Your Spirit

And for using our pain as an excuse to hurt others

For being more concerned with our prosperity than with Your Kingdom

And for loving our opinions more than our neighbors

 *

God help us, as You are gracious to do

You are our only hope

Apart from You, we can do nothing
