What an awesome God you are!
I want to sing of your greatness!
I want to shout to others that you are mercy!
You have shown the greatness of your power and compassion over the course of the centuries. You created humans and created a world where humans could live and thrive. You gave us life and hope for salvation.
But we turn away, Lord. We tend to forget about all you have done and we lose focus on the things you encourage us to value.
We lose focus on love.
We lose focus on mercy.
We lose focus on service and on healing.
We believe that we have created the things we enjoy—all our technologies and wealth and leisure. We have come to believe that we do not need you anymore.
Teach us, God. Teach us that all we have belongs to you.
Teach us that without your sustenance, we would immediately fall. We would be no more.
Teach us to value the things that you represent. Teach us to value mercy, love, tenderness, graciousness, generosity.
Show us your path for our lives, and teach us to place our footsteps upon it.
Amen.
