"Father, Forgive Us..."




Forgive us when we turn toward the source of our fear rather than toward the substance of things hoped for.

We are not to live in reaction to the devil. We are to live in response to God.
~ Bill Johnson

Forgive us for thinking we are ever righteous enough to judge "righteously."
Forgive us for thinking our Christianity entitles us to judge, when all you've asked us to do is follow. 

God never violates His word. But He’s quite comfortable violating our understanding of His word.
~ Bill Johnson

Forgive us when we are frustrated and experience unrest because we think we deserve answers. 

If you want the peace that passes understanding, you have to give up your right to understand.
~ Bill Johnson

Forgive us when our own issues deflate the little risings of hope, that others may have had. 

Forgive us for thinking, and still thinking, we know what's best when only You possibly could.  

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
