A Prayer For the Power to Forgive
A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his
glory to overlook an offense.—Proverbs 19:11
God, You told us to forgive those who hurt us.
And yet, I find this hard to do. Deliver me
from the hateful pleasure of nursing a grudge. It
brings only misery. Instead, help me want to forgive.
Then fill my heart with generosity. Make me bigger
than my little self. Help me know the incredible
pleasure of reconciliation. Amen.
