God, please help us to understand that we don't know as much as we think we do and that when we think we do, we can be as bad, or even worse ... than those who oppose us.

They are no different from us, of course, so together, divided, we can do a lot more damage and simply blame it on each other!  I guess that if we actually saw it, we would have to stop doing what we do. And we don't want to stop.

God, please forgive us for what we do and for the fact that we are not ignorant, we are just stubborn and independent.  Oh God, please forgive us and help us to break this rebellious cycle!

Dear God, if we only really knew You and the price You paid to redeem us all from this destructive force of sin ... 

We would be willing to change.
