Open My Eyes, That I May See

God of love, you sow your grace more lavishly than we think wise, yet you still sow. You confound us with your love, even though it took that much love to reach us. Teach us to love as you love, to forgive as you forgive, and to share as you share so that we might have life as your son lived. We pray this in the name of Jesus, who taught us to pray for your Kingdom saying, saying, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
