A Prayer for Forgiveness

This is a prayer for forgiveness
A prayer to bring our hearts from bitterness to the sweetness of Your Love
That we remember the words of Jesus when confronted by ignorance and unfairness, for
‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’.

Help us to forgive, to return to the path You set out for us,
One by winding, ever-flowing streams of life,
Streams of fresh and glowing water, that trickle with joy and intelligence,
Streams that flow with the purist reality of Your love.

For Your trickling stream never gets muddied in dirty gullies,
It looks neither back nor forward, just flowing eternally onwards
With the force of grace, judging not those around it
Only wishing their return to it's source.

So Father, please help us, through mighty angels,
To achieve this most transcendent act- to truly forgive our wrongdoers,
To show our trust in divine consolations,
Your rewards for the true, heartfelt faith.

Amen
