Showing Kindness To Those Who Are Hardest To Love | Guided Prayers

Kindness becomes most powerful when it's extended to those who are hard to love.

God's kindness reaches beyond comfort and into difficulty.

He calls you to reflect his heart even when it's not easy.

This kind of love sets you apart and points people back to God.

Remember what he says in Luke 6, verse 35.

Luke 6:35

Love your enemies, then your reward will be great.

We are going to think inwardly for a moment.

Stop and thank God for showing you kindness even when you didn't deserve it.

Reflect on his grace toward you.

Take 60 seconds to tell God about someone you struggle to show kindness towards.

Be honest about your feelings and resistance.

Ask Him to soften your heart and to give you His perspective.

Release your frustration to God.

Let compassion begin to replace it.

Take a moment and pray for someone you've struggled with.

Pray for specific blessings in their life and ask God to help kindness be your first response.

Thank you for teaching us to love beyond our comforts.

Shape our hearts to reflect yours.

Amen.
