Dear God,

We thank you for the food before us,
We thank you for those who grew the food,
We thank you for those who keep us safe,
We thank you for our freedom,
         and for our Constitution.

Forgive us for the ways in which we have failed you
          by failing our fellow man.

Help us reunite the families we have separated.
Help us succor the allies we have abandoned.
Help us accept our own children,
          born beyond the border,
          but ours since childhood.
Help us to accept the refugees,
          crying out just beyond the wall.
Help us to free those incarcerated,
          guilty of believing
          that we would give them
          the refuge we had promised.

Help us to see clearly
          all the ways that we have failed you
          by failing our fellow men.

And forgive this nation.
          God knows we need it.
