Grace

John 18:37-40 NIV“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”    “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”   They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.

Forgiveness prayerDear Lord Jesus, as I stand before you I welcome and receive the following people to stand with me before you……………………..(name them – you may need to include yourself).I ask you to forgive me for judging them and placing them in bondage and allowing hurt and disappointment to rule my life.I ask you to release them as I now release them and set them free. Please set me free from the bondage I have been in. Remove the blockage of judgement from my life and release your river of mercy to flow through me.In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen
