The Power of Prayerful Reflection

Have you ever considered what you say when you pray? Prayer is not just a ritual; it’s a conversation with God. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He included a powerful line: 'forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.' This isn’t just a request for personal forgiveness but a commitment to forgive others. Reflect on your prayers. Are you asking for forgiveness while holding grudges? True prayer involves a heart willing to forgive, just as we seek forgiveness from God.


Bible Verse

'Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.' - Luke 11:4a-b


Reflection Question

When you pray, do you genuinely seek to forgive others as you ask for God’s forgiveness?


Prayer

Lord, help me to reflect on my prayers and ensure that I am not just seeking Your forgiveness but also extending it to others. Give me a heart that mirrors Your grace. Amen.
