*_Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift._*
Matthew 5:24

*Prayer :*

we know that feeling that arises deep within us when we feel offended or mistreated. Teach me to relinquish this grudge or grievance. 

As You press earthly reconciliation rather than seeking Your forgiveness, lead me to seek first to be reconciled to my neighbor before I come to worship. Help me to remember that we could not be forgiven if we are not forgiving.

May I be humble to let go and resolve conflict with forgiveness, compromise and peace loving friendship. Please guide me to live in a way that reflects Your mercy and grace.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
