Prayer based on Luke 11:47. Themes: Judgment, Hypocrisy, Persecution.

Dear God, please forgive us for the times when we have built monuments and memorials to honor those who have spoken your truth, while ignoring their message and even persecuting them. Help us to listen to your prophets and to follow their teachings, even when they challenge us and call us to change. May we never repeat the mistakes of our ancestors and instead work towards creating a world that reflects your love and justice. Amen.

Verse: Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke 11:47

This is a Command. The verse is a warning or rebuke to the reader to not follow in the footsteps of those who build tombs for the prophets but also killed them.
