Praying for Strength, Courage and Forgiveness
Dear Lord,
I think most of my time studying Your words, I have been thinking, learning and remembering have been mostly about courage, I need courage every day, in all that I do, I need courage to make decisions about the small stuff and the big deciders in my life that could change everything, I cannot go through my day without thinking of You and what courage You give me every time I ask for it! Without question it comes from You God, You are so gracious and are always there for me when I need courage.
I pray for forgiveness, all through my life I have asked to be forgiven for something I have done wrong or not really right, or even inappropriate, when I have messed up and can’t even forgive myself, but You have, and so I am learning that forgiveness also needs to come from me, I need to forgive those who have hurt me, those who have wronged me, upset me, made me mad or emotional, I need to forgive all those who are not in my life and those who are, all who have done any of these things, I need to forgive them, I am slowly learning how to do that one at a time, I never realised how many people I need to forgive, so forgiveness is a work in Progress, which is an on-going relationship through You and I know that You are the only one who can help me do this!
Father please show me how I can use Your strength to get through all I need to do in life, to have the courage to do what needs to be done, to step out in faith and express my love and feelings for You, to have the strength to forgive those who have hurt me and scared me the most.
I pray for Your love and teachings of Your words, that I will be wiser and stronger and be able to right my insecurities and anxieties, to let Your Holy Spirit in me work freely to teach me how to use Your strength for all I need to do, for all the decisions I need to make in life to be able walk a Jesus centered life. To have this amazing relationship with You and show that my strength in life comes from You and that anyone can have that strength just by having a relationship with You through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Forgive each other
Forgiveness
Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God
forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
For if you forgive other people when they
also forgive you. Matthew 6:14 (NIV)
sin against you, your heavenly Father will
Bear with each other and forgive one another if
any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 (NIV)
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many
times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins
against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered,
“I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Freedom with God's Mercy
Freedom
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
In him and through faith in him we may approach
God with freedom and confidence. Ephesians 3:12 (NIV)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged
by the law that gives freedom, because judgment
without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not
been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:12-13
Mercy
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease. Lamentations 3:22
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
May God’s mercy, peace, and love
cascade over you! Jude (Judah) 1:2 (TPT)
For at one time you were not God’s people,
but now you are. At one time you knew
nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t
received it yet, but now you are drenched
with it! 1 Peter 2:10 (TPT)
Grace
May God’s grace be eternally upon
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need.
My power works best in weakness.”
So now I am glad to boast about my
weaknesses, so that the power of Christ
can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:24 (NLT)
By God’s grace and mighty power,
I have been given the privilege of
serving him by spreading this Good News.
Ephesians 3:7 (NLT)
Sin is no longer your master, for you no
longer live under the requirements of
the law. Instead, you live under the
freedom of God’s grace. Romans 6:14 (NLT)
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
By dispersing in our personalities the ingredients of Christ’s nature, we should actively seek the Holy Spirit and pray constantly for wisdom and walk our lives through Jesus Christ, and we can only do that by knowing what the fruits of the spirit really are.
