Father forgive us.

Father, forgive us for being holy in church and not speaking in public. Forgive us for speaking Christianese during services and cursing in private. Forgive us Father for not reaching out and helping someone that we knew that we could help just for the sake of “minding our business.” Forgive us for not feeding someone when we knew that they were hungry. Forgive us for pretending that all is well when deep inside we hurt and are in pain of some kind. Forgive us for trying to handle situations ourself without consulting in you. Forgive us for getting angry with others or mistreating others. Forgive us for smiling and ‘loving’ others in front of people and not in private where no one can see or hear. Forgive us for not using the talents that you’ve given us to bless others. Forgive us for sitting back and watching those who are bolder than ourselves. Forgive us for not opening our mouths to bless others when we plainly see that someone needs comforted. Forgive us for pride, selfishness and being arrogant. Forgive us for thinking that we no longer need to repent to be Christians. Forgive us for not trusting in the Son and thinking that we can get to you without His help.
