Prayer 855


Luke 15:11-32
Loving God, You draw us into your arms as a parent embraces a long-lost child, and we are humbled by your forgiveness and grace. Heavenly Father, we have wandered far afield from your love, determined to go our own way: forgive us, we pray. Fixed upon our foolish desires, we have turned our backs upon our place in your household: forgive us, we pray. Our wandering ways have impoverished us in heart and soul, hungering for your love; yet in our depths, we hear You calling our names. 

May we turn our feet toward home, and to the place that You have saved for us. May we set our hearts upon the blessings You have given us, and work as your servants to tend to your kingdom. Envelop us within your forgiving embrace, O Holy God, and grant your blessing to those who approach You in humility.

Amen.
