Cain’s Morning Prayer

Cain’s Morning Prayer

Great Judge and Lord of Justice:

you are righteous, we are unjust,

you are merciful, we are judgmental,

you offer the grace we need

and so often reject.

Move our hearts to your presence.

Forgive our unforgiving of others and ourselves.

Remind us that you have marked us

so we may recognize you, 

live forgiven lives,

and share our mark of mercy and grace,

through the one whose blood cleans and chooses us,

Amen.
