Lord, rescue us from ourselves.
We are such a broken people.
We are blind to the pain of others.
We think only of ourselves.
Teach us to sacrifice for one another as you have sacrificed for us.
Open our eyes to see the suffering of our brothers and sisters.
Move our hearts to change social conventions.
Give us Kingdom eyes.
Help us to show compassion for those in need.
Help us to see what in this life is truly important and what is trivial.
Teach us how to forgive others as we have been forgiven.
Teach us to love one another as the Father loves us.
Help us to bring the reign of God here on earth.
