Lord, we’re not perfect. On the outside we may appear to be but on the inside there are so many things. There are a lot of burdens in this room. We bring those burdens to You. The burdens of mistakes, regrets, hurt, hate and the heaviness of a broken heart. Help us to let go of these things of the past so that we can move forward to our future with You. Help us to bear and share each others’ burdens and fulfill Your word that “whatever we have learned or received or heard from Christ, or seen in Christ – put it into practice.“ We need to be more like You. We need to love unconditionally. We need to forgive endlessly. And we need to share the love of God to all people regardless of our differences. It is so easy to divide but You remind us that we are all united as children of God and we need to live as such. Use us Lord, use us this week to share Your love and good news. Until we meet again.
