Dear Lord

Thank you for who you are.
Thank you that you are in control of everything, that you know the end from the beginning.

Thank you for your love, for salvation, for mercy.
Thank you for forgiveness.

When we have people in our lives who disappoint us, help us to be forgiving.

The drunks, the sex-driven, the gamblers, the rich, the liars, the mean ones, the rude, those who ignore us, the baby killers, murderers, thieves, robbers, the failures at parenting, the adulterous, the fornicators, the proud, the gluttonous, the power hungry, dishonest, the self righteous, the misguided, the persecutors, the hypocrite, the blasphemer, the idol worshippers, the envious, the narcissist, the covetous.

Forgive us, as we forgive.

Help us to love.

I pray for Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, and Barack Obama. I pray for their souls. I pray for their repentance.

I repent, Lord.

May you be glorified in your ways. May we reflect your goodness and light in this very dark world.

Help us to shine your message of the gospel brightly.

Amen.
