 “Father, Forgive Them” (Luke
23:34)Click Logo to LISTEN NOW!  Greetings! BlogFam, this week will be a week of prayer via
blog. We will spend this week in
prayerful reflection upon the Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ from the cross. Please join us everyday for prayer and invite
others to pray along with us. Let us pray… Forgiving God, We come as men and women created in your holy
image. We come as men and women who have
often been distracted by conversations, images, and activities that do not
reflect your holiness. We come as men
and women who seek your forgiveness so that we can be restored into right
relationship with you. On today, we acknowledge that ignorant minds and
rebellious hearts nailed you to the cross yet you prayed that the Almighty would
forgive. We acknowledge that you endured
verbal insults and social rejection yet you prayed that the Almighty would
forgive. We also acknowledge that your
unconditional love and tender mercy was beaten and bruised, despised and denounced
yet you prayed that the Almighty would forgive. “Father, Forgive THEM for they know not what they do.” And Lord, we will never fully understand the expanse of
your forgiveness but we are grateful that you have extended your forgiveness in
our direction. Therefore, we confess that
we have not been as forgiving as we should have been. We confess that we have not sought to be
forgiven as often as we should have done. And
we confess that sometimes our words of forgiveness have not released the one to
whom we said was forgiven because we are still bound in our hearts and in our
minds. So, help us Lord to forgive as we have been forgiven. Help us to forgive those who have tried to
crucify our hopes, our dreams, our purpose, our inspiration, our imagination,
our love, our peace, and our faith. Lord,
help us to forgive ourselves for the ways we have kept ourselves from
experiencing the joys of a life filled with your word, your will, your way – A life
filled with YOU. Lord, help us to humbly
seek the forgiveness of those to whom we have said or done anything to dishonor
the holy within them. Father, forgive US for we know what we have done. Forgive us and restore us into right relationship so
that we can love you with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength AND love
ourselves AND love our neighbors as we love ourselves. IN THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO FORGIVES beyond our capacity
to understand… AMEN.
