Chris' prayer: Jars of Clay's "Can't Erase It"

'Cause love is the best thing for you now
But you changed your mind

It is really hard to love sometimes.

I was talking with a friend of mine last night who is having a hard time letting go of some wrongs someone did to him a year or more ago. He holds those wrong so close to him because they cost him a great deal and have made life a lot harder at times. A lot of hurt and pain in that relationship. And it is really hard to love in a relationship like that.

But those relationships are exactly where we are called to love all that much more. It's hard, but we must challenge ourselves to forgive those who have done us wrong and work toward loving those people. Each of us is in need of extravagant forgiveness, and so we must forgive extravagantly. Each of us is in need of unrestrained love, and so we must love without restraints.

Even when it's really hard.
