Prayer

Almighty God and Abba Father, pardon me for the ordinary and earthbound vision that I have of myself and your other children. Through your Spirit, arouse in me a more profound understanding of Jesus’ disciples and how much each of us matters to you. Please enable me to be more patient, tolerant, forgiving, and respectful of my Christian brothers’ and sisters’ shortcomings as I accept my own imperfections and as I aspire for the day that we are united in perfection before your holy throne of grace. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
