Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,
the one who shared my food, has turned against me
(Psalm 41:9; NLT).
Lord,
1. My path is very dark;
I put my trust in you.
2. May I love my enemies
In all I say and do.
3. Help me to forgive all those
By whom I am reviled,
4. And though my heart is broken, Lord,
May we be reconciled.
Father, forgive them,
for they don’t know what they are doing
(Luke 23:34; NLT).
