Dear Jesus,
You alone are God. You alone are good. You alone can forgive and redeem. And You have chosen to do so out of love for Your children. Your forgiveness is a gift that we are unable to repay. You do not just forgive, You redeem, You restore all that is broken. You do not just desire us to be forgiven and remain on the stretchers of our former lives, but You invite us to rise, to walk, to display Your forgiveness for all of those around us.
Father, I confess that I do not practice Your forgiveness as I should. I am quick to hold a grudge, quick to dismiss those around me whose sin has hurt me in some way. Lead me, Lord, in Your ways of forgiveness, and help me to see others as You see them. Forgive me when I do not extend forgiveness to others.
Protect my heart and mind from the enemy. Remind me of Your power and love as You continue to pursue me all the days of my life.
In Your name, amen.
