Prayer and forgiveness

Daily Prayer: 

Merciful God,

You see deep into our hearts

and know us better than we know ourselves.

Forgive us, we pray.

For the times we turn away from Your word, and forget of your grace,

remind us that You are the Lord our God, and our eternal father and guide.

For our impulses of anger, jealousy, guilt or sadness,

grant us Your healing peace.

For our resistance to forgiveness, abundance and mercy,

inspire us with Your compassionate love.

Welcome now the abundant grace of God:

With Jesus, our sins are forgiven.

And let God's love comfort and heal our soul.

O God, so often we take you for granted. 

We take for granted that you will answer our prayers, 

that you will heal us and make us whole. 

Give us faith to see you in everything 

and everyone around us, 

so that we may be truly grateful. 

In Christ’s name we pray.

Amen and Amen
