PRAYER
Thank you, Father God, that you bring good from evil. It is easy to hold on to anger and resentment. Help me forgive others as you have forgiven me. Move me to be kind, tenderhearted, and reassuring to all. I trust you to use even bad things to bring about your good. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
