” . . .please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned.” Nehemiah 1:6
We tend to notice other people’s sins.
Lord, help me pray “please forgive us”, not “please forgive them.” And here’s a simple poem . . .
Fallen
We are
a fallen people
though You raise
us up again
so I confess
and ask forgiveness
for we all
we all have sinned.
