Prayer

Dear God, I recognize that there is anger and resentment in my life which is holding me in bondage. These harbored negative emotions are destroying me and they are also destroying the people that I most love.

Help me see how these feelings of bitterness prevent me from being the person you desire me to be. I believe that you desire to set me free from the deep-rooted hurts that anger me and cause me to lash out at others with mean-spiritedness.

Please help me to release the hurtful memories in my life and allow you to heal my broken spirit. I need your loving-kindness and mercy in my life. Thank you for not giving up on me. How I thank you for encouraging me to believe that your grace can help me to change.

In your precious name. Amen.

A Blessing for You

May the LORD bless you and take care of you;
May the LORD be kind and gracious to you;
May the LORD look on you with favor and give you peace.
Numbers 6.24-26
