Lent Prayer

Monday 5th
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:24-25

Jesus tells us that even when we are not at fault we should seek reconciliation with those who are offended at us. God is more blessed by relationships that are restored than by mere offerings. What relationships or friendships is the Lord asking you to seek to rebuild?

Tuesday 6th
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:7

What does it mean to accept others? Does it mean that there are people whom we have to overlook potential offences for the sake of love? Who is God causing you to think of at this time?
