Requesting grace to fast, pray & FORGIVE... - Guest - 04-28-2008 08:22 PM
I NEED GOD'S HELP to FAST from NOW until NAT'L DAY OF PRAYER (Thurs). Please PRAY I DO NOT COMPROMISE the FAST and that I am PROTECTED from the EVIL ENEMY OF MY SOUL who is not make-believe but REAL.
I specifically need GRACE to FORGIVE my parents, some pastors, and even GOVERNMENT. Please ask the Father to reveal wisdom, peace & mercy to me through Christ Jesus, Amen. Please ask God to shed His LOVE & MERCY abroad in my heart so I have the wherewithal to grant others the same. Thank you.

I once had a hard time forgiving others. while in prayer one day the Lord spoke to my heart with this question..."How would you feel if I did not forgiven you when you were wanting out of your sinful life?
don't look into your own heart for forgiveness, look into mine."
I can now forgive very easily. I forgive (not because I think the person deserves it) but simply becaused Jesus asked me to.
Praying for you. God be with you and keep you.

Thanks, Etta. The Lord showed me he wants me to forgive others the way he forgives me: that is I forgive their sin and don't want them to perish or have to pay for their sin eternally, like he forgives my sin. the neat catch is that he LOVES ME TOO MUCH TO LET ME STAY THE WAY I AM, and actually wants me to ask HIM to change them--that is to ask God to change their thinking. he loves me too much to let me perish, but also loves me too much to let me stay the way I am. Thank you for praying God gives me understanding on forgiving the person but asking God to change them at the same time.
