7 Days of Prayer

Ephesians 4:32 (ESV) - "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Pray for a heart filled with love and compassion. Ask God to help you be kind and forgiving, just as He forgave you through Christ. Let His love flow through you, touching the lives of those around you.

Here are a few prompts to help guide your prayer: 

1. Pray for a Heart Transformation: Ask God to transform your heart, making it more like His. Pray for an abundance of love and compassion that overflows into your interactions with others.

2. Specific Acts of Kindness: Identify specific individuals or situations where you can be kind and tenderhearted. Pray for opportunities to demonstrate God's love through your actions.

3. Forgiveness in Relationships: Reflect on your relationships and ask God for the strength to forgive those who may have hurt or wronged you. Pray for a spirit of forgiveness that mirrors God's forgiveness in Christ.

4. Extend God's Love: Pray for the ability to extend God's love to those who may be difficult to love. Ask for patience and understanding, trusting that God's love can overcome any challenges.

5. Reflect God's Forgiveness: Consider how God forgave you through Christ. Pray for the grace to forgive others in the same way, releasing any bitterness or resentment. Ask for a heart that mirrors God's forgiveness.
