Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they
listened but never heard? Have you ever
tried to explain to someone how their actions/words had a negative impact on you
and rather than acknowledging the negative effect that their actions/words had,
they instead tried to explain the why behind their actions/words? Do you remember how that made you feel? Dwell there for just a moment.
They have treated lightly the injury to my people: “Peace,
peace!” they say, though there is no peace. They have acted shamefully,
committing abominations, yet they are not at all ashamed, they do not know how
to blush. Jeremiah 6:14-15
We all have the need to be heard and acknowledged. Forgiveness/healing is slowed and even
impeded without the acknowledgment of an injury and subsequent apology.
Heal me, LORD, that I may be healed; save me, that I may be
saved, for you are my praise. Jeremiah
17:14
Spend some time this week being present in each moment. Listen.
Hear. Acknowledge. Empathize, and as appropriate,
apologize. Let the healing begin. Pray that you may be an instrument of healing
in your family, in your church, in your workplace, and in your community.
For I will restore your health; I will heal your
injuries—oracle of the LORD. Jeremiah 30:17
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Let the healing begin.
Pass it on!
