the miracle of prayer (or the miracle of forgiveness) Part 4

If you remember, several weeks ago, in the miracle of prayer – Part 1, we learned prayer is a miracle in itself. It is the cord that connects us with God.

The very next week, we discovered that within the Lord’s Prayer were two distinct sections, intentional and significant, in that order. Part 2 reveals God, in all of His holiness. Part 3 moves into the “us” section, where we ask and God provides.

But there is a final and critical Part 4 we cannot overlook. This is where the miracle of forgiveness is found.

Let’s look at the whole prayer again.

The Lord’s Prayer

From Matthew 6:9-15;

I know I may be in over my head here, because quite frankly, I don’t know what kind of issue, person or situation you might be struggling with. I understand on a deep level how hard it is to forgive someone who has hurt you. Forgiveness does not mean you have to go face that person. Forgiveness is between you and God. God does the work. That’s why it is a miracle. We cannot do it. God has to. This is the miracle of forgiveness.

Today, I want to encourage you to seek forgiveness through God. Ask God to forgive you and equip you to forgive others. Believe God is qualified to handle anything you send His way. Embrace the miracle of forgiveness and experience the freedom that follows. Understand that when we do this, we reflect God’s love to the whole world. We become the miracle. Praise be to God!

Let us pray;

Holy and gracious God, forgive us and equip us to forgive others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
