Some of our memories may be difficult and painful. This prayer seeks to acknowledge that reality and help us reach out to God
to find love, peace, healing and the power to begin to forgive
The hurts may be gone,
But their memories linger;
And through them those hurts
Continue to inflict their scar.
Though I cannot forget,
Help me to forgive;
To release the pain if not the recollection,
And find peace and healing
By knowing I am held in your endless love.
