Lord, our hearts are broken. There is so much division and so much evil in our world today. Good and innocent people are suffering, and evil is advancing. We are looking for answers and solutions. We are scrambling to find them. We're looking in the wrong places too often as well. Lord, help us to realize that the answers aren't going to be found in politics. They aren't going to be found in violence. The answers to our problems aren't going to be found in more division.
Help us to remember that Jesus is the answer. He has already defeated Evil. That battle is won. We need to stop trying to fight it over and over again. Lord, use your people, your servants, your church to be lights in this world of darkness. Use your people to share and spread your love to the world. Open our hearts to Jesus. Turn us to you, Lord. Draw us close to you. Don't turn your face away from us. We confess that we have turned our back on you too many times, and we don't deserve your grace and mercy. But, Lord, we ask for your grace and mercy. We know that you are a loving and forgiving God. Turn our nation back to you, Lord.
In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.
