Confession / Prayer to be a blessing to others

Heavenly Father, your love surrounds us:
A singular grace touching all our lives.
Yet so easily we live in darkness,
and we neglect the brilliance of Your love.
You pour one blessing after another
While we view the good filling up our lives
As our “good luck” or our entitlement.

You have positioned us uniquely to
extend Your blessing to those in our lives
-to our family, friends and acquaintances.
We hoard the grace you intend to be shared, while
those closest to us choke within themselves
their cries to sense Your Holy presence.

God, Forgive us for our cold distancing.
Savior, please forgive us for all our sins.
Fill us anew with your Holy Spirit.
Refresh our hearts to bless those around us,
So that we, and all people whom we touch
may rejoice in Your extravagant love.
