Have Grace When Someone Appologizes

When you are in an argument and the person decides to say that they are wrong and asks you for forgiveness, it’s tempting to kick them while their down. It almost seems like it makes you feel more justified and let the anger out when you don’t them off the hook. They’re vulnerable, and telling them just how bad they hurt you makes you want to argue even more. However, it takes maturity to accept an apology and be respectful. In fact it takes true forgiveness of your heart to accept an apology. And what you’re really doing is letting yourself out of a never ending maze of hurt and hate. Now if someone is constantly hurting you, that doesn’t mean that you should stay in a place of hurt and manipulation. We should use Jesus’ example for ourselves. This isn’t always possible for us, but that is where we ask Jesus to give us strength to do His will.

Jesus, teach me to do your will and have forgiveness as you would have me forgive. Show me you way of love.

Matthew 18:21, 22

Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for this past weekend and for the people you have put in my life. Father, thank you for my beloved wife and children. Thank you for the love you have for me and the forgiveness you have given me. Thank you for your Son, who lives in me.

Lord, thank you for the love you have poured into my heart. Your unconditional love overflows my heart. You know my heart Lord and the depths of my love for my wife. I pray that you will pour your abundant blessings upon her. She is a special woman, who I love dearly and will never leave nor forsake no matter what. She is the most beautiful woman in the world to me and I would do anything for her. I pray that she returned home safely from her trip. I know that my past had wounded my heart, but you have healed it and taken away the things that kept me from loving as you would have me do. Lord, I pray that you will continue to change me and make me into the man, husband, and father you would have me be. Lord I know I hurt my wife and caused her heart to harden. Lord Jesus, I pray that you will soften her heart and lead her to you. I know she believes in you. Lord, your word has shown us what you would have us do and that you want us to stay together and forgive and reconcile. Lord, I know you put us together and that through you our marriage will be wonderful. Lord I pray that we will both submit to your will and reconcile. I pray that you will heal and restore this marriage.

Lord I lift up other hurting marriage to you. Father, marriages and our spouses are gifts from you. I pray that you will touch all of our hearts and bring us closer to you. Bring our spouses close to you. Restore our marriages so that we may be one as you have shown us in your word.

All of this I pray in the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ – Amen

Lord, you have said in your word that You hate divorce (Mal 2:16) and that a wife should not separate from her husband…be reconciled to her husband and that her husband shall not divorce his wife (1 Cor 7). Your word shows us your will.

I pray to you that you will continue to restore the hurting marriages of your children. I pray that you will convict our hearts to place you first in our lives and submit to your will. Show us that ings in us that you want us to change tot become closer to. Soften our hearts Lord and wash away the pain, hurt, anger, and resentment and replace it with love, compassion, forgiveness, and reconciliation. You have shown us your will Dear Lord. I pray to you in faith that you will restore our marriages. I thank you for showing me the changes you wanted me to make and I treasure the relationship I now have with you. I want to share that realtionship with my beloved and show her the love in my heart and love her as you have commanded us as husbands (Eph 5, Col 3) In gifting our marraiges we were to cleave into one flesh (gen 2:24). I pray to you to restore our marraiges so that we may become one again.

22″Have[f] faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23″I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11

In the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ – Amen
