Day 24

Prayer: 
Father, thank you for your word that tells me the danger of holding on to anger. I recognize that anger makes me vulnerable to sin, and it opens the door to the enemy. Instead of holding on to anger, you invite me to pour out my heart to you (Psalm 62:8) and give you every hurt, anger, disappointment, and fear – you want me to give everything to you that is in my heart. Lord, I need your help to be that open and transparent. I need help believing that when I pour out any and everything to you, my heart will be safe. I want to believe that you are a refuge for me even with my anger towards people who have hurt me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

• Ask God to show you someone that you need to forgive. 
• Ask God to show you what you need to forgive the person of doing or not doing.
• In your words, tell God that the person hurt you and that you need His grace to help you forgive the person. Then tell God that you forgive the person, and be specific about what you forgive them for doing or not doing.
• Ask God to heal your heart of the pain, and tell God you trust Him to continue to heal your heart.

Note:  This may be very painful for you and you may need more time to heal because of the depth of the pain.
