A day to Forgive Others

Lord, today let me put aside

the grudges I have against others,

and the hurt that sometimes goes deep.

Rather than harbouring resentments

I’d like to feel free from ill will,

free to let go.

Lord, help me this Advent to forgive,

so that you can truly forgive me,

and then I can be really free

to rejoice in your loving mercy.

Lord, help me to enter into your presence today with a forgiving heart.

Amen.
