Today's Passage: Ephesians 4:31-32 

Today's Prayer: Father, in faith, I thank you for the instruction to forgive in Ephesians 4. I confess the places in my life where I need to practice this. With the friend I feel wronged by…My colleague at work…The child who actively rebels and resists relationship…The situation that did not go the way I desired...     
I confess the places in my life that have been tainted by bitterness and anger. I confess that I have said things I should not have said. I confess that I have not desired others’ best good.     
And in faith I come to you and whisper: “I forgive.”   
I release people and circumstances into Your hands and I choose to walk in kindness and compassion, entrusting the details of my life into Your care.
- When I think of old hurts…I trust You to make me new. 
- When I recall recent wounds, given and received…I trust You to make me new. 
- When I remember hurtful words, spoken by or to me…I trust You to make me new. 
- When I recount unfairness, toward me or by me toward others…I trust You to make me new. 
- When I’m tempted by a quarrelsome spirit…I trust You to make me new. 
- I walk in kindness…knowing You have me new.  - I put on compassion…knowing You have made me new. 
- And bind them both to me…knowing Your forgiveness has made me new. 

Because You forgave me, I choose the way of forgiveness. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
