Lord, You are asking me to do something I do not want to do.
They have not apologized. They probably will not. They might not even know.
But You are asking me to forgive. Not for them. For me.
I do not feel like it. I do not even feel close to feeling like it. So I am doing it on faith, not feelings.
Take the part of me that wants them to pay. Take the imaginary conversation I keep having with them in my head. Take the door I keep cracking open to let the resentment back in.
Forgiveness does not mean they were right. It does not mean it was fine. It means I am not the warden anymore.
Help me set this down today. Tomorrow if I have to start again, I'll start again.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
