Lord,
In this increasingly divisive time,
it's becoming more and more difficult to see others who disagree with us
with truthful hearts. We speak to one another in ways that dishonor
Imago Dei. We view "the other side" as evil and demonic. We believe our
way is the only way.
Father, help us to see our
own blind spots. Open our eyes to where we are wrong, to where we have
sinned, to where we can do better to honor You. Humble us, O Lord,
reminding us we are dependent upon You. Remind us we don't have it all
figured out, and show us where we need to have our own hearts and minds
changed. May we know what pleases You, and revealed to us where we have
been deceived. Show us how to see others who have been deceived with
compassion and not with a sense of self-righteousness.
Give
us eyes to see others with the truth. Give us Your eyes to see others
and to the see the world: with compassion, mercy, justice, heartbreak,
and love. Teach us to discern truth, to speak truth with love, but most
importantly: teach us to listen. Teach us to listen to You and to
others.
Amen
