Reflection

“By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.” –Caroline Myss

Prayer

Merciful God,

We pray today for any who may be struggling with the need to forgive, either themselves or another. By your spirit, free every heart from unforgiveness and from all the damage that comes from inner wounds left untreated. As a ministry community, let your healing and grace flow through us in creative and liberating ways, so that people trapped in regret and bitterness might find as much peace for their spirits as they find health for their bodies. As whole people, striving for wholeness, we pray. Amen.
