Prayer 515

Window at Trinity Church, Tulsa

Inspired by Matthew 18: 21-35
Almighty God, let our praises and thanksgiving ring out to the hills and fill the valleys, for You are our God. We praise You and bless You, O Merciful One, for your forgiveness that washes over our spirits. We humbly beg your pardon, and the pardon of those we have hurt or wronged. Teach us to love You, and each other, without limit, without fear or rancor. Teach us to root ourselves in kindness, to transcend our pettiness and selfishness. Forgive us our manifold sins and failures, and may forgiveness and healing well up within us. May we forgive as You have loved us. From the desert of our pain, fear, or uncertainty, may we seek the oasis of your love and healing.

Amen.
