Prayer: A View Too Small

All around the world today many call for peace, but no good comes.
They look for a time of reconciliation and healing, but find only terror.
God Almighty, is there no Balm in Gilead?
Is there no Physician for all these people who live day after weary day without hope?

May those of us who are called by Your Name hear Your call to walk before You and be blameless; to be Life made manifest in this weary, sin-sick world. May we walk in the Light and bring Light and Life, and healing to those around us.

We confess our self-centeredness, our "too small" view of the world and our perceived inability to impact circumstances and events around us. Forgive us, cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and send us out as Your lightbearers into this dark and hurting world. Amen.

Genesis 17.1; Jeremiah 8.15, 22; 1 John 1
