Dear God
Please teach me to forgive myself and others.
Remove the walls that keep love out, behind which I am a prisoner.
Heal my guilt and remove my anger, that I might be reborn.
Make gentle my heart and strong my spirit and show me how to love.
Lord I pray that I can follow your words from
Ephesians 4:31-32
New International Version (NIV)
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Do not let the pain dwell and make me hate.
Do not let bitterness steal my sweetness.
Pray that you work your healing in us Lord. Give me wisdom as you taught in
Proverbs 19:11
New English Translation (NET)
11 A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
Forgiveness is a promise; not a feeling.
That when I forgive others, I am making a promise never to use their past sin against them.
I pray that others will also be compasionate on my traspasses and be able to forgive me.
Just like how Jesus had by grace forgiven me of my sins and no longer count them against me.
Lord I pray for strength and your healing love to mend the wounds in our family and that you be the anchor and center of our lives.
Amen
