Prayers on the theme
of Healing and Forgiveness - 2
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [
3 ]
Father God, you are the one who leads us
from darkness into light,
from captivity into freedom,
from anxiety into peace,
from despair into joy.
Yet we so easily break free,
choosing to follow our own way,
convinced of our own wisdom,
forgetting your love and grace.
Forgive us, and draw close to us,
embrace us once again in your loving arms,
and enable us to follow you
in worship and grateful service,
each day of our lives.
Amen
Lord God, your love for humankind,
present in the beginning of all things,
extends throughout history,
and touches even our lives.
Your love sees failings
and forgives,
Your love feels pain
and wipes away our tears,
Your love knows grief
and comforts the sorrowful,
Your love sees sin
and still loves the sinner.
Forgive us when we fail to live
lives that reflect your love.
Forgive us the many times
when we take for granted,
all that you have done for us.
Transform us, through your Spirit,
and empower us to serve you
this day and all days
Amen
You have given us a world of beauty
and we have spoilt it,
a world to feed us
and so many go hungry,
a world of riches
and we are unwilling to share,
a world to care for
and we think only of self.
Forgive us, gracious God
for those times your heart is saddened
by our selfishness,
for those times we have no thought
for others, no cares but ours.
Enable us to see this world anew
as a gift from you,
to be shared and nurtured.
We ask this that your name
may be glorified,
through the beauty of this world
and the service of our lives
Amen
