Praying for Forgiveness

Dear Lord,

Today I’m praying for forgiveness. I pray that each of the girls can forgive me for the days I’m too angry, too loud. For not giving enough kisses, not enough hugs, or for not listening to their stories for the third time. I pray they can start with forgiving me so they can learn to forgive each other and everyone else.

I pray that they understand the process. I pray that they know that I apologize to them for the things I know I shouldn’t do or react the way I shouldn’t react. I pray that they see me doing these things so they can engage and persue forgiveness in others, even when it doesn’t seem like they should. 

I pray that when they apologize and forgive themselves or anyone else, that they hold true to it and understand that they have the ability to do so because of you. You forgave even Judas and still loved him with everything you had. I pray that in the midst of troubled waters, they can forgive themselves and the people/circumstances that got them there. 

Amen
