PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio
FORGIVE, FORGET AND LET IT GO!
“Pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Mt 5:44 NKJV
Today’s Devotion
An unforgiving attitude can keep you from moving forward in life. So isn’t it time you got serious about forgiving the one who hurt you? You say, “But then they’ll have gotten away with it.” They’re not getting away with anything! God is qualified to judge, you’re not. Remember, your critics are making decisions about you based on limited information, but God knows the truth and He will deal with your detractors in His own time. By trying to defend yourself and prove them wrong, you’re stepping into territory that belongs exclusively to God. The Bible says: “Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone...never take revenge.
Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, ‘I will take revenge; I will pay them back,’ says the Lord. Instead, ‘If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads’. Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good” (Ro 12:17-21 NLT). Satan’s goal is to get you all tied up in knots and steal your peace. Don’t play into his hands! Christ, your example, prayed for those who drove the nails into His hands: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Lk 23:34). Your enemies may think they’re smart, but often they’re acting in ignorance. Don’t come down to their level by retaliating but forgive them, forget and let it go.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for reminding us to forgive, forget and let it go those who hurt us and leave us severe paint. Lord today I will forgive those who hurt me and forget the things in the past but let it go. Lord teaches us always that you first forgive us and you forget all our sins and you remember no more and that we pray Lord that those who hurts us badly we will forgive, and forget what lies behind and reaching forward what lies ahead. Lord thank you that you forgive us and that’s why nothing can stop us to forgive others for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved.
