A prayer for those who mistreat you

God, it can be difficult to love those who have mistreated me, but I know you love them – so I want to love them too.

Encourage me to pray for those I am too hurt to be around.

Give me the courage to go out of my way and be kind to those who are unkind.

And provide me with the strength I need to forgive them.

You are the Judge – not me – and I am just as unworthy of your love.

In Jesus´ name, amen.
