Dear Jesus,

Be with your son Derrick who has show repentance Lord and wants to reconcile and receive and give forgiveness Lord. Teach him Lord that forgiveness is not always a feeling , but an act, that even if we do not "feel" like forgiving someone, we choice to forgive someone based on your word.

Lord, walk before Derrick and open up all hearts involved in this situation and bring healing and reconcilation Lord to all. Whenever the wrongs of the past are brought up again in the minds are heart, gently remind all , that they have been forgiven, washed away , thrown in the deepest sea, never to be remembered anymore. Do not let satan play havoc and cause anymore roots of bitterness or seperation to continue , but let your light shine through and bring laughter , friendship , trust and lasting fellowship back to all hearts involved.

Help Derrick most of all know , once he is asked for your forgiveness, and the ones he has offended, he also needs to forgive himself too. Draw him close to you Lord and release him from any bondage that he can walk in freedom with you , all the days of his life , Lord Jesus.

We ask this in your precious , Holy name, Lord Jesus.

Amen.
