Prayer For Humility

God of mercy and grace, teach us to love how you love and who you love. Teach us to remember that we ourselves were aliens once and teach us to stand with those who are unwanted and with those who suffer. We know that you stand with widows, with orphans, and with immigrants. Teach us to take up our cross and stand with you and with those with whom you stand. Teach us the humility that is necessary for us to see outside ourselves and yet to also examine ourselves. Show us our own sin so that we might judge no more the sins of others. You have redeemed us, teach us to be redeemed. In the name of him who refused to be separated from us. Amen.
