Original Prayer

Loving Heavenly Father, I've known You for years and You've never abandoned me throughout the traumas of my relationship with an addict. But Lord, You know that bitterness and resentment have been building steadily - at the loss of my own life and confidence and from the actions and words of someone who should be sorted by now. Help me to draw strength from You, moment by moment, not to let the sun go down on my anger, soften my heart and inspire daily forgiveness. As You have shown much grace and mercy, let me imitate this. Help me to be patient as the crimes against me are repeated, Holy Spirit, I know I must forgive seventy time seven. Show me how to remain righteous with unholiness happening in my home. Thank You for Your faithfulness in our situation - I still trust that You are in control. In Jesus' prescious Name, Amen.
