Free Us From That Which Destorys

Loving and forgiving God, we have done so many things in our lives that have hurt our loved ones, but worst of all we have caused you grief.  Yet in patinent love, you continue to forgive us - waiting for us to turn to you for the help we need.  Thank you for your understanding and love.  Yet we come again to you in prayer today, seeking your power to free us from that which destroys our lives and that of our loved ones.  Enter our hearts and make us loving and forgiving like our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we offer this prayer.  Amen.
