Prayer

Gracious God, prepare us for the difficult road ahead.
Help us to be willing to forgive those who hurt us.
Help us to accept your forgiveness and grace.
Help us receive your unconditional love.

[We pause for a time of silent confession]

Loving God we pray that you shine your face upon us, that we may know the beauty of your grace.
In Christ’s beloved name we pray.
Amen
