Day 11
Scripture: Colossians 3:13-14 (NLT)
“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.”
Today’s Prayer:
Great Physician, we praise You as the Healer of hearts and Mender of relationships. We exalt You for Your perfect example of forgiveness and reconciliation through Christ.
We acknowledge the deep wounds in our national fabric, some recent and some generations old. Forgive us for times we’ve allowed these wounds to fester, choosing bitterness over the hard work of healing.
As Paul instructs in Colossians, we ask for Your help to forgive as we have been forgiven. Pour Your healing balm over the wounds in our communities. Clothe us with love that can bind our nation together in harmony. Grant us the courage to both seek and extend forgiveness.
We yield our hurts into Your capable hands, trusting that You can bring beauty from ashes and joy from mourning. Guide our nation toward true healing and reconciliation.
Amen.
