ENOUGH: LIGHT

A prayer of confession.

God of infinite mercy and grace,

I have not seen myself the way you see me: beautiful and worthy and good.

Forgive me, and turn me back towards the light.

I have not seen others the way you see them: loved and accepted and part of my family.

Forgive me, and turn me back towards the light.

I have not seen your creation the way you see it: sacred and precious and in need of my care.

Forgive me, and turn me back towards the light.

For when I have not lived in faith; for when I have not lived in hope; for when I have not lived in love.

Forgive me, and turn me back towards the light.

Thank you that you are the God of restoration. Restore me now in your wonderful light, in the name of Christ. Amen.

Gideon Heugh, Tearfund
