 Memory Verse; Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. Romans 5:18 NIV

Ezekiel 31-32 Psalms 65

May you be happy, may you be free.

May you be loving, may you be loved.

May you know the fulfillment of what God has planned for you.

May you experience God's deep, profound love for you.

May Jesus Christ be formed in you.

May you know his peace that passes all understanding.

May all good things be yours.

May Jesus' be in you and may that joy be complete.

May you know the Lord in all his goodness and compassion.

May you be protected from the evil one amidst every temptation that comes your way.

May the Holy Spirit fill and permeate your entire being.

May you see His glory.

May you be forgiven of every sin.

I forgive you of every wound and hurt with all my heart.

May God's goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life.

Praying this for a person who has wounded us is no small task, but it is a significant step forward.

Jesus, thank you for loving me with the kind of loving compassion expressed in this prayer.  I long to be  the kind of person who sincerely feels and prayers like this, especially for those who hurt me.  But I am a long way from that now.  I ask that you do a profound work in me so that I might truly love like you.  In your name, I pray.  Amen.

Are you not a robber, you who consider your own that which has been given you solely to distribute to others?

Basil of Caesarea

Lord, keep us from speaking of love while hoarding the gifts you have given us. Make us full of discontent as long as there are brothers and sisters living and dying in hunger. Amen. (Commonprayer.net)
