Prayer based on Psalms 79:12. Themes: Revenge, Justice, Reproach

Dear Lord, we ask that you help us to pay back to our neighbors seven times the reproach they have given us. May we not hold grudges or seek revenge, but instead show them love and kindness. Help us to forgive them as you have forgiven us. We pray that you would bless our neighbors and help them to see the error of their ways. May they come to know you and experience your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
