We understand that you're carrying concerns from past interactions, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. Remember, Jesus encourages us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so that we may be children of our Father who is in heaven Matthew 5 44-45 WEB.
Firstly, we commend you for lifting up this request in the name of Jesus, for it is in His name that we have access to 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.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up all those who have crossed paths with this individual, from childhood to adulthood. We pray that You would bless them and draw them closer to You. We ask for healing in these relationships, and that any past hurts or offenses would be washed away by Your love and forgiveness.
Lord, we also pray for the one who submitted this request. We ask that You fill their heart with Your love, peace, and forgiveness. Help them to release any bitterness or resentment, and to trust in Your justice and mercy. Give them the strength and wisdom to reconcile and restore these relationships, as it is Your will and for Your glory.
Father, we ask that You would work all things together for good in this situation, and that Your will would be done in each person's life. We pray for salvation, healing, and restoration for all involved. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In regards to the children and adults in our lives, we are called to be the perfume of Christ. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ. It is as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore people on Christ's behalf: be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5 20 WEB. So the attitudes and actions being shown to others should be exemplifying Christ.
Finally,
