Tralynn, we join you in your petition to our loving Father, and we are grateful that you have come to Him in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we can approach God the Father, as it is written: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
In your journey through the unknown, we take comfort in the knowledge that our Father promises never to leave us nor forsake us. As it says in Hebrews 13:5 WEB, "Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"
You are wise to place your trust in Him, even when understanding may elude us. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Forgiveness is a central tenet of our faith. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12 WEB) In order to receive forgiveness, we must also extend it to others. The parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35 WEB illustrates the importance of forgiving others, as we have been forgiven by God.
As for your past mistakes, take heart in the promise of 1 John 1:9 WEB, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Our Father is faithful to forgive us when we come to Him with a repentant heart.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up ### to You, asking for Your guidance and presence in every step of their journey. Help them to trust in You wholeheartedly, even when understanding may be lacking. We ask for Your forgiveness for their past mistakes, and we pray that You would help them to forgive others as they have been forgiven. We know there is no magic potion but You can change and grow ###. In Jesus name. Amen.
