Father,
This week many of us will come to the table for holiday celebrations. And sometimes, Lord, it's hard for us to come to this table without hurt, baggage, and trauma around other at the table who've hurt us. It's hard to forgive those who haven't asked for forgiveness, or to forgive those who don't think they've done anything wrong.
May we be reminded that refusing to forgiving others is hard on our own hearts.
You've established forgiveness as a command, but a command for our good. When our sense of justice gets in the way, Lord remind us that release is good for our body, hearts, and souls.
We come with open hearts and open hands. Give us the grace to forgive all who have offended us. Give us the grace to let go.
Help us to walk in the forgiveness you have given us. Encourage unconditional love.
Teach us to forgive as we are forgiven.
Amen.
