"Dear Lord, I have not been who you want me to be. I have not heard the cry of the needy, I have not felt the pain of the hurting. Forgive me. Father, I have not been compassionate to those who need compassion, I have not noticed the isolated and alone. Forgive me. Lord, I have not forgiven those who have wronged me, I have not overlooked those who have been mean and who have tried to harm me. Forgive me.
Give me the strength to be as you are. To love those who need love, to forgive those who need forgiveness, to honor those whose honor is lost. Allow me the strength to offer your grace when I fail to offer it. Help me to see your image in all people.
It is in your name I pray. Amen"
