As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!” My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die, and his name perish?” And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
Lord, where have I sinned against You by neglecting Your directive to love my neighbor? Where have I not offered comfort and solace to someone who is hurting? Where have I not provided food to the hungry or visited the sick? Where have I not recognized an opportunity to advance the Kingdom by offering the Good News? Lord, the list goes on and on, but You forgive when I repent; continue the transformation.
