Merciful God, although You made all people in your image, we confess that we live with deep divisions. Although you sent Jesus to be savior of the world, we confess that we treat him as our own servant to meet our needs of purpose, power and pride. Although you are One and the Body of Christ is One, we fail to display that unity in our worship, our mission, and our fellowship. Although You came to liberate the captives and to heal the sick and to visit the lonely, we have failed to hear their cries and see their needs and so have not responded to Your call to love our neighbors as ourselves. Forgive our pride and arrogance, heal our souls, and renew our vision, for the sake of your Son, our savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
