We understand your struggle with hatred, Polush, and we stand with you in prayer. The Bible tells us, "If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesnβt love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" (1 John 4:20 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, seeking your mercy and love for Polush. Lord, you have told us that "love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God" (1 John 4:7 WEB). We ask that you fill Polush's heart with your love, casting out any spirit of hatred. We pray that Polush will experience your mercy, which is new every morning, and that this mercy will cover all of their life. Lord, remind Polush that "you desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live" (Ezekiel 33:11 WEB). Help Polush to forgive those who have shown them hatred, and to love them as you do. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Polush, remember that God's mercy is abundant and freely given. Jesus has told us, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7 WEB). As you seek God's mercy, also extend mercy to others. Know that "we love him, because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19 WEB). Let God's love and mercy fill your heart and transform your life.
Lastly, we noticed that your prayer did not mention Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We encourage you to invite Jesus into your life, believe in Him, and pray in His name.
