In the Lord's Prayer, we are reminded that we are called to forgive
those who sin against us. Often we are willing to forgive others, but later
satan reminds us of their wrongdoing. We think about it, judge it and pronounce
in our hearts that we are "offended" and wronged.
We then become angry,
bitter and yes . . . offensive.
The enemy likes to trick us into being offended people. But the Lord Jesus came to set us free from that trap. If you are feeling trapped, pray and ask GOD to guide you in forgiveness. Reflect on, "Forgive and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37, Hebrews 12:14-15, Proverbs 19:11
satan loves it when we keep score of other people's "sins". he
convinces us to keep a record of wrongs when we are offended, and to seek revenge
on those who have hurt us. Jesus is just the opposite. His ways are always
filled with love, mercy and grace. Pray for Jesus' supernatural power and love, to fill your heart and mind today. He longs to help you release others from the
punishment you think they deserve. Ask for GOD's power in this.
PRAYER
Jesus, you know how deeply offended I have been with
those who have hurt me.
It's so hard when I think about how they have wronged
me.
I release my anger and bitterness toward them right now in your presence.
You have set me free by taking away each and every sin in my life.
Thank you
Jesus.
I pray for those who have caused me pain.
Please bless them.
Help them
to see your love, mercy and grace.
I need your Spirit to help guide me,
as I
seek to love and pray for those I continue to struggle with.
Help me, Jesus.
Amen
