Patient God, who has endured with us long despite our sins, reveal to us where we harbor anger and malice, that we would work to put such things away, forgiving those who have wronged us and freeing ourselves to love well as you love us, through Christ our savior who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in unity, one God of love forever and ever. Amen.
‘Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.’ – Eph 4:31-32
