Whilst listening to a radio play called Home Front, one character said something that suggested the beginning of this prayer to me, so I’m very grateful to the writer for their inspiration.
************************************************
Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others (Colossians 3:13; NLT).
Do not nurse hatred in your heart (Leviticus 19:17; NLT).
Forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart (Matthew 18:35; NLT).
***************************
Lord,
My lips say
I forgive all those
Who hurt me,
But my mind knows
It needs longer
To catch up.
My mind says
I forgive all those
Who hurt me;
But my heart knows
It needs longer
To catch up.
My heart says
I forgive all those
Who hurt me;
But my soul knows
It needs longer,
To catch up.
