Prayer - Forgiveness

Heavenly Father,

We praise you for your unconditional love, grace without merit, and mercy without cost. We celebrate the splendor of your creation – this earth you give us to enjoy, sustain, and enhance. We honor you with our worship, rejoicing in being your children, adopted into your family, and because of your son, look forward to life eternal with you.

We ask your forgiveness, Lord, for our shortcomings. Help us to be better Christians, better spouses, better children of our earthly parents, better parents, better friends. Equip us to be ministers of your Gospel so we can share Jesus with those we encounter who are lost, struggling, and alone.

We seek your favor and ask you to reveal your will to us. Let us be Jesus’ hands and feet, doing for others what He would do!

In Jesus’ holy and precious name we pray. Amen.
