"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Mark 11:25
I like peace. But lately I seem to foster angst. I turn negative comments over and over in my mind. Other people's sins become something for me to figure out, to change, to make right. Lord, I'm pretty sure You have not asked me to take Your place as God, Creator, and Savior! So why do I try to be the one in ultimate control?
I allow hurts to fester and slights to separate me from Your goodness. Release me from the grudges that keep my heart in shackles. Give me the strength to release the desire to control everyone and everything.
