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
