PRAYING FOR GOD'S MERCY
From 1 Corinthians 13
When we lose our patience,
when we are unkind,
when we are envious,
when we are rude or proud,
when we are selfish or irritable,
and when we will not forgive:
have mercy on us, O God.
Help us not to delight in evil,
but to rejoice in the truth;
help us always to protect, to trust,
to hope and to persevere:
so let us love one another -
until we see you face to face,
and know at last just how much you love us. Amen.
