Prayer about Reconciliation
Introduction
Dear Reader, prayer serves as our personal dialogue with God. It’s where we present our fears, dreams, worries, and thanks, and it’s one of the most potent tools we have in growing our relationship with Him. God listens and responds, offering comfort, wisdom, forgiveness, and leading towards reconciliation whenever we stray.
Prayer
Dear Sovereign God, You who are the Giver of all good things, I come before You today in humble submission. I acknowledge my failings and shortcomings, acknowledging that I have often strayed from your righteous path.
Lord, I pray for Your divine reconciliation. I ask that You pour upon me the spirit of contriteness, teaching me to sincerely confess and repent of my sins. Help me recognize where I have strayed, who I have wronged, and guide me towards making amends and seeking forgiveness.
Father, I pray for those I have wronged. Enable them to find in their hearts the capacity to forgive. Let them see my remorse, my deep desire for reconciliation. May Your divine mercy be manifested in their hearts, helping them let go of the bitterness and accept my sincerity.
May I be a reflection of Your divine love, Father. Help me to also forgive those who have wronged me, so I can model Your forgiveness and compassion. Encourage me Lord, to foster peace, unity, and fellowship rather than discord, as I strive to live according to Your will.
Lord, guide my steps as I walk on the path of reconciliation. Teach me your ways and let the Holy Spirit guide me in all I do. I submit myself to Your will, Oh Lord, trusting that Your plan is far greater than anything I could ever imagine. I pray this in the precious name of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen.
