Untitled Prayer (righteousness and justice)

Let us live in righteousness,
not in belief we are right
and the other is wrong,
but in your grace,
doing what each of us is meant to do,
as best as we are able.

Let us seek justice,
not revenge.
Let us work towards wholeness,
fairness,
and authentically valuing
everyone's worth,
rather than fighting for recognition
of our own over-inflated "goodness."

Let you grace shine down and guide us,
when we fail to see the difference,
between righteousness and selfishness,
between justice and punishment,
between creating wholeness and creating division.
