DAY 5: Ask for Forgiveness
Ask God to show you anyone (students, teachers, parents, etc.)
whom you need to ask for forgiveness. Then, "just
do it." A great way to begin the conversation is to say, "I
realize that I've hurt you or disappointed you with my actions.
Will you forgive me?"
Therefore, if you...remember that your brother has something against you, first go and be reconciled to your brother... Matthew 5:23-24
Suggestions
- To prepare us for the 40 days, we need to make things right
in our own hearts first.
- Start with family and friends at church today and before you
go to school tomorrow, make a list of those you will ask for forgiveness.
It could be a friend, teacher, or anyone that you feel you've
offended.
Sometimes people will not accept your request to be forgiven. That's
OK. Just be kind, and know you did what the Lord commanded you to
do.
Adults
Ask God to show you anyone (family, co-worker, friend, etc.)
whom you need to ask forgiveness. Then "just do it."
