#soften my heart - 2 #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive

Lord, touch my broken spirit
any places of resentment
any kernel of judgment
any longing for justice
I hold in my soul…
 
Soften my heart,
heal me completely
help me to forgive fully
those who have hurt me
through the course of my life…
 
Lord, I release them,
anyone who has ever hurt me,
to Your justice, Your mercy,
I release any claim I hold
any chains within my spirit…
