PRAYING FOR GOD'S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS
DAY 22: SATURDAY
Forgive Us Our Debts As We Forgive
Our Debtors
God of compassion, Forgive us!
Forgive us for seeking our security
through gods of our own making. Forgive
us for withholding the worship and devotion that You are due. Forgive us for
our failure to trust You.
Forgive us for forgetting that You are the
one who has brought us through all the trials and terrors we have faced: You
are the one who has freed us from every form of bondage; You are the one who
has healed us of every infirmity; You are the one who has provided for every
need; and You have walked with us in the lengthening shadows of death.
Forgive us when we harden our hearts
against our neighbors. Forgive us when we refuse to give, refuse to be
merciful, and refuse to forgive our neighbors.
Dear God! some days we are overwhelmed by
our need for your forgiveness. Forgive
us and change us. Enable us, each day, to practice the forgiveness that You
have shown to us. Amen.
