Here’s
a confession inspired by the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. It was written by Joanna Harader (see links
below).
Prayer of Confession: Space
(inspired by Luke 15:
11-32)
Holy
One,
The
space between us is too great–
this
agonizing expanse between you and us:
The
rift we have created by demanding our share.
The
distance we have put between us as we flee to a far country.
The
resentment we hold when things don’t seem fair.
Our
refusal to join your gracious party.
Forgive
each selfish request
each
step away
each
bitter thought
each
joyless rejection.
Forgive
us
and
run toward us
with
open arms.
