Creator and Sustainer of all,
Forgive us, your creations.
We have littered your planet,
We have used precious resources with little regard for the rest of creation,
Or even our own future.
We have moved forward,
Marching to the beat of the drum of progress,
Little realizing the impact we might be having on the world,
Or on the establishment of your kindom on earth.
We pray for it every time we pray as Jesus taught us,
But we seldom seem to actually want your kindom here.
We would rather be our own rulers.
Lord, forgive us, and give us new hearts—
Hearts that love and cannot hold hate—
Hearts that look to you as our leader and sovereign.
Amen.
