Forgiveness received and shared

Personal prayer cycle · Day 22 of 31 · Matthew 18:21–35

Read Matthew 18:21–35 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

The servant receives mercy but refuses to extend it. Jesus exposes how easily gratitude can disappear when we consider another person’s debt. Forgiveness does not remove justice or necessary boundaries. It does challenge the desire to make resentment the center of our life.

Bring it to prayer

Where am I being invited to release revenge?

One act of faith

Pray for the grace to respond justly without hatred.
