PRAYING FOR CHRIST'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS

DAY 6: TUESDAY

Wounded Father, Injured Mother, forgive us for the many ways that we have sinned against You.  Forgive us for our hard and rebellious hearts.  Forgive us for forgetting the many times that You have drawn near to us and the many ways that You have provided for us or intervened on our behalf.  Forgive us for believing that we do not need You.  Forgive us for going our own way in arrogance.  Forgive us for our apathy.  Forgive us for our bitter and unforgiving attitude toward others.

Forgive us!  Forgive us!  Forgive us for the multitude of our sins!

Transform us!  Make us new!  Renew us as often as You must!  We know that You are able to save us from evil, but also from ourselves.  

Unbind these hearts bound by sin so that we may unbind those whom we have refused to forgive.  Let our lives be doubly marked by forgiveness that moves us closer to You and to our neighbors.  Amen.
