Bible Verse of The Day – 7-2-24

Mark 11:25 (NKJV) 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

God wants us to forgive. There is no question about it.

He does not want us to live with unforgiveness in our hearts. Unforgiveness will surely affect our hearts if it is not dealt with.

We must ask ourselves if there is someone or a situation that we need to forgive today? May the Holy Spirit show us.

We sometimes have a way of pushing things down that hurt us, and never dealing with the pain. But that pain will haunt us if we don’t deal with the root of it.

If this is you, there is no better time than right now to take a few minutes and pray this prayer.  

Dear God,

I have been hurt by, say the name of the person or situation.

It has crushed me, and I can no longer look at them the same. I don’t want to be around them or in the same place with them.

I’m hurting and I can’t stop this pain I feel. This disappointment that lives in my heart is there all the time. I have pushed it down for so long.

Today I want to let it go. I don’t want to walk around feeling broken any longer. Please, Lord, I need Your help in forgiving them and I want to be healed.

I know it won’t be easy, but I am willing to take the steps. Help my broken heart get back to being healthy and strong again.

Forgive me, Lord, for holding any anger towards them. Today is a new day, and I’m ready to be free from it all. In Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

May God bless you and remember His promise to you.

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
