Have mercy

O God,
Our faith is so little, our love so cold, our spiritual vision so dim.  We cry out, Have mercy. 
Our minds are pressed by the crowd of demands on our schedules.  Our hearts travail under the burdens inflicted by our blindness. 
Grant us Your grace.  Walk beside us.  Teach us Your ways in Holy Scripture.  Stay, please.  Open our eyes and our hearts to Your presence.  We plead for You, Lord. 
We plead for Your grace for all of us embroiled in this sorry mess, regardless of theological position.  Have mercy.  Amen.
