O God, you are our shield and our defense against the chances and changes in life. We put all our trust in You, O Love Divine, for you are our surety and our shepherd who calls us each by name and loves us. Forgive us for our stiff-necked pride and insecurities that have led us into fear and willfulness. Make us slow to anger and quick to forgive, and help us be more compassionate and gentle. Bring us to a deeper awareness of your wisdom and truth. Guide us to be more holy and reverent in all our actions. Help us to join hands with those with whom we have quarreled, that we may seek mutual understanding and amity. O Merciful One, hear the pleas and petitions of those who call upon You, O God of Our Salvation.
Amen.
