God our loving Father, teach me to offer to you, to give up like Abraham the most precious and the best I have in life; give me that same kind of faith and trust in you, O God, that in life, you are the only most precious and best I have in life.
So many times in life, dear Father, I always question your will, your plans, your instructions to me; worst, many times, I even question and doubt your goodness to me and to others like those scribes who questioned Jesus Christ's authority to forgive sins.
We have strayed so far from you, O God; we have believed so much in ourselves, in our beliefs, in our technologies, in our strengths and achievements as if we are gods like you!
Forgive us, merciful Father; help us find our way back to you in your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
