Dear Lord, Creator of All, We certainly do not get it right all the time, and with human history being what it is, You certainly don't expect us to. We ask instead that You would overlook the mistakes we make in ignorance and forgive this day our sin of self-interest. Help us this day to care for the lost and lost among us as we strive to care for Your creation as well as all who live therein. As we go about our work this day, help us to remember the words in Matthew, that what we do for the least among us, we do to You. Amen.
