Original Prayer

Dear Lord I have spent the morning praying this, but wanted to put it in writing because I am really really sorry and would appreciate prayer support from other Christians on this site. I grieved your Holy Spirit last night - I met with a friend and I gossiped and was negative about Church, saying what was wrong with it. I sowed seeds of discord and gossip and trouble. I also spoke out against someone in my family and am now worried that this will get back to them. I never meant to hurt them, but I just wasn't thinking straight. I've now told three people in the Church about my concerns about my Aunt and I am so sorry Lord. Please forgive me and please bind any negativity that is arising at this present time from my sin. Please send your shield of protection around those I spoke about especially J, G and M. I'm really sorry Lord. Lord you know that I am not usually like this and this friend does bring out the worst in me, although of course I am responsible for my own sin. Help me Lord to know what to do in future - how can I love my friend but keep away from gossip and negativity? Please make this clear to me as I did ask for your protection last night but I still made so many mistakes. Please take away guilt and shame as I know they are not of you. The cross covers all my sin, but please know I am truly sorry and please have mercy on me and those I spoke against. I love you. xx

Bless you Rosie God know's your heart my dear friend he really does, you haven't grieved the Holy Spirit, sometimes we need to learn to take our concerns direct to God in prayer and think just a little before we share some things, but equally its not a sin to be concerned, you know you will know God's most awesome blessing soon my dear sister, bless you.
