FORGIVENESS
Heavenly Father, help me to forgive those that I feel have wronged me. Lord, I give the anger and bitterness that I am holding on to, to You. Take it from me. I know that You have forgiven all of my sins, who am I, then, to not forgive my fellow brothers and sisters. Never let me loose sight I the sacrifice You have made to justify me in Your sight. Amen
