Lately I have found myself feeling discontent and even resentful. I have been struggling within my work environment and with an old friendship. I do not want to become bitter. And I definitely do not want to be unforgiving. At church I had learned about how when we are angry it's usually because we feel that someone owes us something. And once we are able to forgive the 'debt' that we feel owed, we will have peace.
I pray that God empties me of what I have been filled with lately. Those feelings of resentment and entitlement. I pray that God will clean out all of my dark corners and fill me with his love, goodness and peace. I pray for wisdom and for a forgiving heart. I want to love my friend and accept the love that she gives in her own way.
Lord, help me to let go of my expectations and to see things the way that you do. I know that you love me just the way I am. Even though I am not perfect and I am good at making new mistakes as well as repeating the same one's over and over.
I love you God and I need you. I know you are faithful. Thank you for your love and mercy.
Amen
