PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 38: THURSDAY
Forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors
God of mercy, You have taken our sins upon
yourself. You have acted to forgive before we had the first thought of turning
to You for forgiveness. You have offered forgiveness when our hearts were still
apathetic toward You, steeled against You, or even full of hatred toward You.
We rejoice in You and your overwhelming
mercy. As we do so, we remember the cross of Christ as the place where your
abundant mercy and love were revealed most fully to us.
Because of your great act of intervention
on our behalf, our hearts are full of gratitude and joy. Holy, holy, holy God!
We worship and adore You!
Turn our gratitude and worship into generosity and mercy toward our neighbors. Enable us to forgive as we have been forgiven. Amen.
