Prayers For Our Country

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Lord, this pandemic has revealed our many failings.

We relied on our own wisdom, made our own plans.

We worshiped money, celebrity, and power and went the wrong way.

We embraced the cynical voices of folly and mockery.

We denied the poor and dismissed the needs of many who we now call essential workers.

We repent and seek your forgiveness Lord, as we celebrate the promise of new life brought through your death and resurrection.

Resurrect in us humility, the love of others, and trust in you.

Show us the hope of a better way, and help us to follow.

Amen
