Verse of the day and prayer_260628

[JEAN]

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. [Leviticus 19:18]

Father of light, love, and mercy, please remove from my heart any cynicism toward others who dislike me or hurt me. Please remove any delight in seeing others around me fail when they have wanted me to fail. Instead, please use me as a friend rather than an enemy, a helper rather than a detractor, a person who forgives rather than one who holds a grudge. I want your grace to be seen in my friendships and the way I let go of offenses committed against me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
