Forgive us, our Redeemer, when we care more to be right than to hear Your voice or answer Your call. Despite not being as attuned to Your will or as responsive to Your will for us as You would like, You still offer grace to try again. Please continue to seek us out, even when we turn away. Amen.

Patent Teacher, please remind us when we are disturbed or upset that we have a choice on how to treat those around us. Help us be quicker to listen than we are to speak, help us be more interested in understanding than becoming angry. Amen.

Dear Savior, guide us to know You as the caring, loving Father that You are. Teach us to feel Your lovingkindness, to welcome the touch of Your warmth and acceptance. Help us to believe that we are truly loved. Amen.
