Finding Your Creative Bones® 365-Day Devotional © 2023
Heal me, Lord. Why must my heart and mind stray where they should not go?
Why, oh God, does my heart harden against others?
Why must my heart and mind stray where they should not go?
Why can I not see the possibility of forgiveness of one, but yet others receive all I have?
Why am I blind to the fact that I can forgive all if I ask for your help?
Through you, I can forgive.
Through you, my pain is reduced or eliminated, made tolerable.
Jesus forgave all. Why can't I follow his example and trust that I will find peace through forgiveness?
Let me welcome the peace of forgiveness today by praying to you, Lord, for help.
Prayer:
Forgiving Father, I know I have talked with you before about forgiveness. I bring it to you again to ensure I am still growing in this area. A lack of forgiveness causes bias in my life, and I am uncomfortable with anything I do with negative emotions. Bias can lead to bad decisions, and I do not want to be guilty of that. It affects me and those I am biased about. Heal my spirit of the desire to make decisions, speak, and act based on negative emotions. I am grateful for your help with this and all things. Amen.
