Do not let the sun go down on your wrath (Ephesians 4:26; NKJV).
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us (Luke 11:4; NLT).
We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).

Lord,
I acknowledge,
Here and now
Before you,
My hidden anger,
Hate,
And bitterness;
The hurt and harm
I’ve done
To other people;
And the conflicts
That have left me
Scarred for life.
Forgive and heal me,
Gentle Lord,
I pray,
And help me learn
To speak the truth
In love.
