Praying from Philemon 1:12 relating to Reconciliation, Forgiveness, Unity.
Dear Lord,
I come before you today with a heart full of gratitude for the love and grace you have shown me. As I reflect on the verse “I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,” I am reminded of the importance of welcoming others with open arms and treating them as if they were a part of our own family.
Lord, I pray that you would help me to be more welcoming and accepting of those around me. Help me to see others through your eyes and to love them as you do. Give me the courage to reach out to those who may be hurting or in need of a friend, and to show them the same kindness and compassion that you have shown me.
Thank you for sending your son Jesus to be the ultimate example of love and sacrifice. May I follow in his footsteps and be a reflection of your love to those around me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
