When You Pray - by Joel Osteen

Today's Scripture

“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive
him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven
may also forgive you…” (Mark 11:25 AMP).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Everyone has been hurt, offended, betrayed, and mistreated at some point.
Sometimes those wounds are small and easy to move past, but other times they
are deep and take time to heal. The important thing is that we choose to forgive so
that we can open the door to God’s forgiveness in our own lives.

Forgiveness is such a powerful tool. Forgiveness sets you free and draws you
closer to your Heavenly Father. One of the first things my mother did when she
found out she had stage four cancer of the liver was to ask the Lord to search her
heart for any unforgiveness. She didn’t want anything to block her prayers for
God’s healing. And now more than twenty years later, she still has a perfectly
clean bill of health!

Whenever you pray, invite the Lord to search you heart. Choose to forgive
anyone that has hurt you. As you walk in forgiveness, you’ll experience His hand
of blessing in ways you never thought possible and you will move forward in the
abundant life He has in store for you.

A Prayer for Today

Father in Heaven, I invite you to search my heart and mind. I choose forgiveness
so that I can receive your forgiveness in return. I love You and bless You today.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
