Prayer: You know I have sinned

Lord, you know I have sinned. You know I have hurt others, I have been unkind, and I have had times when I think only of myself. You have given me such grace and mercy. Help me to extend the same to my brothers and sisters. Free me from holding grudges, from gossip, and from passing judgment. Help me never to pour shame upon another. Rather, help me to show love and peace. Help me to walk with others toward forgiveness and restoration. Thank you for the beauty you will bring to my relationships because together, we have sought your healing. We belong to you, Lord. Amen.
