The Bitterness

Lord Jesus, I have a prayer and I want You to hear it. I really need Your love and I need the Holy Spirit. There is really one thing that You can do for me. Help me go way back. Deep in my memory. Help me remember the hurt and help me remember the pain. Help me remember how it felt and help me remember from where it came. Release me from these chains. Help me crawl out of this hole. Heal me Lord Jesus, from what the bitterness stole. I lost so many years that I will always regret. Take away the pain and hurt. I want to forgive and forget. I also ask You, oh Lord, as You return what I lost. Help me remember also all the pain that I caused. Is there anyone I hurt. Someone I'm not even aware. Help me remember them Lord. I need to show them I care. Let them know that I'm sorry for everything that I've done. Please God, I ask their forgiveness in the name of Your Son. If there's anyone I've hurt, Jesus, please help me to understand that I need to heal that hurt that was done at my hand. I ask to be forgiven Lord, and I pray You help me forgive. I want to turn the pain and hurt into love, so I can finally live. Bitterness creates an empty heart and as you pray to the Father above, say, "Jesus please take our empty hearts and fill them up with Your love.

You have spoken well, in this poem. So many times we have sins that we never realized. Both sins of omission and sins of commission. This prayer is so insightful. And truly one that we all need to pray. We must ask for forgivness here on earth...before "the great big movie in the sky..." Judgement. Nice write Allan.
