Prayer For Reconciliation

Merciful God, Sovereign over all creation and its inhabitants, not through fear but through compassion; we bow in reverence before you. We acknowledge that we frequently let our words bring pain to others and act out of selfishness; forgive our transgressions. In these times filled with doubt and anxiety, guide us to show love to those who oppose us and to act kindly toward those who wish us harm, in the name of our Lord Jesus.Amen.
