Petition for Ethical Guidance

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Almighty Father,

All praise and honor, power and dominion, truth and justice are yours, because you teach us to the honor the law, be mindful of the world, and advise us when wisdom and knowledge fail us.

We confess that you alone are the Lord, nothing happens without your permission, but we are rude, impertinent, and are too quick to judge others. Forgive our hardened hearts and willful minds.

We give thanks that you are willing to overlook our shortcomings, teach us, and lead us where we need to go.

In the power of your Holy Spirit, quicken our consciouses that we might not sin. Remind us of your law, teach us about the ways of the world, and guide us even when we too easily stray.

In Jesus’s precious name, Amen.
