God, it seems like everywhere we look the world is broken. The poor continue to be with us. The hungry remain unfed. Our jails are still full. The sick remain un-healed. All we have to do is open our eyes and we can find those in need. Your word tells us that with you all things are possible and with your love we have done so much good in the world. We have worked tirelessly to bring your grace to those in need. There is so much more to do. We cannot rest until your work is accomplished. Give us the spirit to continue the fight. Remove from us all of our sins. Our sin puts us in conflict with our neighbors. It is erodes the foundation of our world. It is through you that sin becomes dead in our life. It is through the love and sacrifice of your son that we are made right with you. When we are right with you we are right with your people. Help us to forgive others in our lives that have harmed us, just as you have forgiven us of our sins. How can we hold such hard hearts when your heart is so gracious? Lord, you saved us for a reason, to continue to do your good works. You transform our hearts so that we can continue to share the Good News. You fill our lives so that we can fill the lives of others.
