Daily Prayer for October 31st, 2022
Prayer of Confession:
Almighty God,
We may remember the great man and women who came before us. Who have shaped us to be a people of pride and to be proud of where we have come from. Yet we forget to acknowledge that any events in our history that are worth being proud of were meant to honor you. To show your glory and grace. Not in the powerful moments where nations concord nations, and people oppressed. But in the justice, you have given root to and the freedom of acceptance that you have intend this world to be rich in diversity beyond aperients but in our thoughts and in our lives. God forgive us for not learning from the lessons passed when we sin today like our ancestors had. When we bury our heads and death in our ears to your call to repent and to become truly a new creation. For it is in the new creation we fear that we shame our ancestors. We put the past before the time that is now and the pain that is now. Lord God we as for your eternal forgiveness to be in our lives today and every day. We ask for your guidance to seek your mercy and to truly share such mercy with our world. Help us to become a new creation that you call us to be for we do have a promised identity in you. Help us not to repeat the sins of the past but to learn and celebrate the faithful lives that humbled themselves before you and chose to show your glory to our world. This we pray in your holy name. Amen.
