5/18/11 My breath prayer for the day comes from Acts 7 where Stephen becomes one of the first martyrs of the Christian faith. The prayer on his lips as he dies is for those who are stoning him to death. In verse 60, he says, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them."
I have to acknowledge my inward desire to hold onto grudges, slights against me, places where I feel I have been wronged. I want to hold those who have wounded me accountable. I want to hold onto my anger and my desire for revenge.
This passage challenges me to let go of my bitterness and not hold onto my desire to punish any more.
Love,
Lynn
