DAY 22 – March 6- Pursing Forgiveness and Humility
40 Day Prayer Journey to Life Transformation
The initial week of the Lenten season we were praying about our personal relationship with the Lord. We focused on what should be our primary pursuit of loving the Lord with all heart. The second week we focused on our relationship with our family relationships and the third week our relationship with those in the body of Christ. On Day 21 we focused on repentance and reconciliation in broken relations in our families and with friends and loved ones and between and among congregations. Today we focus on forgiveness among family members, friends and church members and congregations.
