Father,
I am so incredibly grateful for Your mercy!
So many times I have passed judgment…
Even when I didn’t realize I was doing it,
It wasn’t right!
I cannot presume to know the hearts
Of those around me.
I can only press in for myself,
Crying out for Your Spirit to prevail
In the surrounding atmosphere.
I can truly trust that You are…
You are at work in all of us
Calling on Your name.
O Lord,
Break the apathy and complacency
That we tend to settle into
When things get comfortably familiar—
Like the order of a church worship service.
Holy God,
Remind us again Who we’re here for.
