God of love,
When I am confused by your teachings,
when I am overwhelmed by your invitation to follow,
when I do not understand what you are doing in this world or the next,
Help me to find comfort and courage in your love.
Remind me that you love the entire world,
even when we are rotten and self-centered and work against all that you are.
Remind me that you come close to bring healing and new life.
Remind me that you do not condemn, but you embrace and and save.
Amen.
