Does Ukraine touch your heart?
The people of Ukraine were just like us a few weeks ago. They had homes, families, jobs, education for the children. Then suddenly their world turns upside down. Millions are now refugees, separated from husbands and fathers. They have nothing but the clothes on their backs. Our response today may influence how others respond to our needs one day. We are not immune to disaster. So, let us show compassion to the poor since we can do something. LORD, forgive us our apathy and inaction.
Book Excerpt
Prayers of Confession for Lent
Treatment of the Poor
LORD,
we know the poor and oppressed
cry out to you,
and you have commanded us
to respond to their needs.
Forgive us for failing
to defend the oppressed or
failing to show pity
for the weak and the needy.
Cause us to rescue them and
help redeem them from violence,
for their lives are precious to you.
Remind us that if we shut our ears
to the cries of the poor,
you may ignore us in our own times of need.
LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Based on Psalm 72:12-14, Proverbs 21:13
