“Father God, please forgive us for so often apologizing to the world that we are Christians and for what we believe in and for what we stand for.
“Father God, give us courage to speak out in public about the blatant corruption, lies and stealing taking place in this nation, starting in government and filtering right down to the man in the street. We love You, Lord, but we obviously don’t fear You, Father forgive us.

“Lord Jesus, forgive us for not respecting our elders, our old people, for not seeking their counsel, for not loving them and looking after them in their old age, Father forgive us.

“Father, forgive us for not calling sin by its name.
“Lord Jesus we do not have the right words to adequately express our sadness for the racial hatred between black and white in this beautiful country of ours, please forgive us.
