Father, forgive them

Lord,
Help me to show compassion towards others, as you show compassion to me. Help me to be forgiving towards others, as you are forgiving to me. Help me to be considerate towards others, as you are considerate to me.

So that in all things I may find peace, knowing your loving care in my life; and that in all I do I may find joy, knowing your loving presence in my heart.

Like the son who squandered your gifts, yet humbly returned seeking forgiveness, may I be truly sorry for my waywardness, and I give you thanks that in spite of all my failures, I can still call you Father.

Amen
