When we look at ourselves and our world we see how much we are in need of God and his rescue and restoration. Wounded humanity has despoiled his gifts, polluted the environment, squandered resources, bruised and broken relationships, acted selfishly and faithlessly. The prayers in this book poignantly express our sorrow, and at the same time declare out love for God who sets us free, heals us, and waits patiently with mercy and compassion.
