The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, Your Word says You hate wickedness. That includes the small acts of wickedness I let slide in myself. The cruelty I call honesty. The lies I call being careful. The selfishness I call providing for my family. Help me hate what You hate. Not in other people. In me. Make me less okay with what You are not okay with. I am not trying to be perfect. I just want to want what You want. To say no to what You say no to. To say yes to what You say yes to. Amen.
