Forgiving Others

This prayer was written by Kyle and posted to his blog Vindicated.  Kyle wrote this as a way to help himself thorough forgiving others – a requirement of God we are reminded of every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer.  It seems to me to be an excellent prayer for any follower of Christ to use, and I repost it for your edification.

Almighty God, in obedience to your command to forgive, I commend to you N. I forgive his/her sins against me, especially ______________. I acknowledge that you are the only one righteous, and that like N., I stand as a sinner in need of your grace. I know also that I have from time to time committed similar sins, and even worse. Please forgive N., and forgive me. Please bless and heal N., and help him/her to grow in relationship with you, that both he/she and I would come to delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

God break me into a million pieces. Allow each piece to absorb something new and then hold all the pieces near to Your heart, and let the warmth of Your love melt them into a brand new creation awaiting to be evident in my life. Forever and ever, amen.

Praying With Augustine

Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new,
late have I loved you!
You were within me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you.
In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created.
You were with me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all.
You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness.
You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath and now I pant for you.
I have tasted you,
now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me,
and I burned for your peace.

- from Confessions, Book 10, Chapter 27, as translated at www.feastofsaints.com
