Be Kind



Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Oh Lord, My prayer for pastors still continues. I pray that this very command will be obeyed by all believers and by pastors in France as an expression and an example of the forgiving love of Christ. Lord, ministers are often spoken badly of and at times bitterness, rage and anger comes into our hearts because of the way people treat us and speak of us. Forgive us Lord for not forgiving those who wrong us. Give us the willingness to forgive others. Holy Spirit remind us to forgive and to be kind.

Lord, I pray the Christians in France will be kind and compassionate to each other and forgive others like you forgave us on the cross. Remind us how we are to treat each other. Lord, I pray for the unity of the body of Christ in France help us as Christians to treat each other with grace and kindness. Keep our tongues from saying evil about each other and forgive us when we fail to forgive one another. others. Let our actions and reactions show people the cross.
I pray in the Name of Jesus. Amen
