Forgive us all

Forgive Us All

Dear God,
Dear Spirit,
Dear Life Itself,

Forgive us all.

Forgive us for the ways we fall short—again and again.
For the words we said in anger, and the silence we kept when love was needed most.
For the moments we chose pride over peace, comfort over courage, and fear over faith.

Forgive us for the pain we’ve caused—to each other, to ourselves, and to the world You entrusted to us.

We’ve forgotten how to listen.
We’ve failed to care.
We’ve judged too quickly, and forgiven too slowly.
We’ve chased what fades, and ignored what matters.

But inside each of us still lives a spark — a desire to do better, to begin again, to heal.

So we come to You with open hearts, not perfect, but honest.
We ask for mercy.
We ask for renewal.
We ask for the strength to forgive as we are forgiven.

Forgive us all, and help us to forgive one another.
Let this be a turning point — not just in words, but in how we live, how we love, and how we treat the world around us.

With hope,
All of us
