Forgiveness

Dear Lord please forgive all of our sins and help us to live by the golden rule, thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us, and may the Holy Spirit please guide and protect us in all that we say and do. Please lead us into forgiving the mistakes of others rather than harboring memories of hurts and wounds that they may have inflicted on us or our loved ones, so that we may pray for our sins to be forgiven the same as we forgive the sins of others, and that we may find Your gift of peace of mind and heart. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 
Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
