Who are the merciful?
“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us.” We all sin and when we do, we feel remorse, guilty even
ashamed. Who do we go to when we need to be forgiven? We go to God and if we
can ask for forgiveness for doing something that has hurt another person, we
should be able to forgive those who hurt us. I know it’s hard to forgive
someone who has caused so much pain and self-doubt and forgiveness is a process
it takes time to make that decision but here in this beatitude Jesus is
teaching us to be merciful to those who hurt us or offend us.
I found a prayer that I wish to share with you all
and I will share the link to where I found it 10 Powerful Prayers for the Forgiveness of Others –

Prayer for Forgiving Others
Jesus, Prince of Peace, I pray that You provide
the strength I need to forgive those who have offended me and hurt me. It can
be so easy to want them to be punished for the wrong they have done and for
them to get what they deserve. But that is not Your way, Jesus. Yours is the
way of forgiveness. You are slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Even
when You were nailed to the cross, you cried out for God to forgive the very
people who were murdering You. Fill me with Your strength, compassion, and
love, dear Jesus. Mold me in Your image. In Your merciful name, I pray. Amen.
May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope.
