O God, open the eyes of our hearts. Give us the faith to recognize you and to join you in your redeeming and healing work in our world.
O God, we humbly recognize our need for forgiveness and restoration. In our weakness and selfishness, we often fail each other, fail ourselves, and fail you. Thank you for the hope and power we have through Christ. Raise us and transform us by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.
Forgive us our sins, and make us ready and able and quick to forgive others, even as you forgive us. Help us, O God, to delight in your will, and to walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Open our eyes to your presence and work in our lives.
Give us the faith to see the possibilities and purposes you have for us at our work, in our homes, with our families, and with our neighbors, and in our church.
Through Christ, we pray. Amen.
