Forgive us, Lord

We have lost sight and forgotten your Word.

We have ignored You, Lord, for far too long. 

Forgive us.

Help us to unite again in You.

Guide us.

Help us seek Your ways and not our own. The way we live isn't working. We have failed. 

Forgive us. 

The Sandy Hook Massacre shows how far off your path we are as a nation. Lord, help us not need another trajedy to get our attention. Let this one be it.

Our problems are not guns. It is the moral decay of our nation as a whole. This is something government cannot legislate or change. The change must come from each of us individually. 

Forgive us. We are listening and are open to You and your guidance.
