A prayer of confession

Dear Lord,
we are sorry for times when we have judged the actions of others
without thinking about why they acted as they did.
We are sorry for times when we were so focused on our personal agenda
that we failed to see that others have valid agendas too.
We are sorry for times when we have spoken out
without thinking of the impact our words will have on others.
Anoint us with your love, O Lord, that we may be forgiven.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
