5 Prayers to Give at Church for Reconciliation, Forgiveness
The world is in a state of chaos to the point that it is impossible to reconcile disputes and differences. Sin has caused everyone to hurt each other, resulting in a never-ending cycle of retribution and hate. Courts have never delivered real justice while man-made laws fail to stop the conflicts.
The world's system has failed and the only solution lies in forgiveness. God provided the perfect example by pardoning our sins. Considering it is impossible to restore our relationship with our Creator, He decided to forgive our transgressions altogether if we just come to Him. The world needs that forgiveness which is why we should pray for each other.
