Prayer for Barren Fig Trees

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Almighty father,

All praise and honor, power and dominion, truth and justice are yours, because you taught us the meaning of mercy and practiced forgiveness before we had any idea of either.

We confess that we are slow learners, especially when it requires us to forgive others. Forgive our hardened hearts, slothful minds, and lazy hands that never seem to get it right.

Thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth on the cross. Teach us to emulate his sacrifice for those around  us.

In the power of your Holy Spirit, grant us strength to endure sacrifice, grace to share with others, and the peace that passes all understanding.

In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
