Heavenly Father,
Tonight, as we continue to evaluate our relationships and work on getting right with You, ourselves, and those in our lives, we focus on forgiveness…and for guidance, we turn to the brilliance of Colossians 3:13, where Paul wrote, “Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”
May we follow Your gracious example and model Your forgiveness in the lives of those who have hurt us. By doing so, we know that we will move closer to You and closer to the personal peace we all seek, while at the same time living out Your will for us – and not our own.
In Your Son’s Name we pray, Amen.
