Teach Me to Hate the Things You Hate

Lord God, please teach me
to hate the things you hate--
bitterness and quarreling,
anger and strife,
injustice, cruelty, and abuse,
immorality and idolatry,
ambition and jealousy,
selfishness and greed,
jealousy and envy,
dishonesty,
unforgiveness,
ungrace,
and hatred itself,
especially (but not exclusively)
when they show up in me,
in Jesus' name, amen.
