Lord Forgive Us
- Forgive us for our selfishness. We have kept You for ourselves.
- Forgives us for our fears. We have kept quiet about You.
- Forgives us for our self-centerdness. We have believed the lie that we are better because we are saved and that You hate those still in sin. The lie that we can therefore hate and disdain them, too.
- Forgives us for our haughtiness. We have cheapened Your grace and made it an excuse for disobedience.
- Forgives us for our unbelief – which is sin. We embrace fears, doubts, desires, and lusts as insurmountable realities. We embrace failures, sickness, wars, crimes, and physical, emotional, and spiritual death as logical realities.
- Forgives us for our complacency. We are okay with being “in” while much of the world is “out.”
- Forgives us for our apathy. We cannot fathom that Your power manifested can actually solve the problems of humanity.
- Forgives us for our self-reliance. What little faith and hope we have, we put in ourselves, business, government, and education.
- Forgives us for our disobedience. We know Your call on our lives.
- Forgives us for our self-doubts. We believe it’s up to us – that we have to “feel it” and that it is ours to do alone.
- Forgives us for our independence. We believe we control our work, shelter, food, and breath.
- Forgives us for our abdication. We are okay with doing less than You’ve asked.
- Forgives us for our self-acceptance. We are okay with remaining broken and unwell.
- Forgives us for our tolerance. We are okay with injustice.
- Forgives us for our hatred. We justify our decisions not to love.
Forgive us Lord and teach us, reteach us, Your ways. Teach us Your Throne Room, “It is Finished!”, perspective on life on this planet. Pour out Your Spirit to awaken us to “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”
Forgive us Lord. Heal us Lord. Empower us Lord.
