Dear God,

Its not often that I pray,

let alone ask anything of you.

I hate asking for things,

in exchange for worship.

It feels like

a commercial transaction

to me.

But this time,

I ask You,

to grant me

a forgiving heart,

and cleanse me

of all anger,

hostility

and revenge.

Heal my hurts,

and teach me

to rely

on love.

Grant me

the wisdom

strength

and peace,

to move ahead

in grace

and love,

as you have

instilled

in me,

for I have to admit,

I can't do it alone,

am too bloody weak.

This I pray,

in Jesus' name

Amen
