Lord, I thank you that the horrible things some people may say about me and to me no longer hurt more than a mosquito bite. It wasn't always that way. As You know in the past I would let the words, anger, spite, etc. from others in the form of hateful words hurt me to the core of my being.
Lord, please touch the heart of my friend who has found my beliefs and behaviors upsetting to her. My intention is never to hurt anyone.
Jesus, You told us that we must love one another unconditionally and to me that means no matter what they say or do. I understand that I do not have to like, or love, their behaviors or their beliefs but only love the beautiful child of God they are inside.
I know this woman is beautiful inside, Lord. She has been such a blessing to me so many times in my life, for several years. I truly didn't like her opinion of my beloved Oscar when she and another dear friend who has turned her back on me, met him. They only saw the outer man, not the beautiful heart You showed me in him.
Lord, I know I wasn't such a good person in the past. I've worked very hard to become the woman You want me to be. I pray that during my time of selfishness and needing to be right that I never was as hateful and spiteful as some of the ones who used to say they were my friends have been to me.
I love them Lord, and always will thank you and be grateful for their friendship. I don't know what to pray for but You do so I will leave it up to You to know what this person needs.
When I was a child I thought that today, Holy Saturday, Jesus was laying in the tomb. I now know that wasn't so. I believe that he was arisen shortly after they laid him in the tomb. No one knew about it until the Sabboath was over.
Thank You for the sacrifice of Your son for my life!
What a gift!! I love You with all my heart
Amen
