Matteus 5:23

We’re all chasing something. Usually something just out of reach—a better job, a more comfortable home, a perfect family, the approval of others. But isn’t this tiring? Is there a better way?

This 10-Day Contemplative Prayer Guide through the Lord’s Prayer is intended to slow you down, practice listening in moments of silence and solitude, and experience prayer relationally over wish-listing and mental effort. We encourage you to start with silence and acknowledgement of God’s presence, then dwell on the given scriptures, and finally take 30 slow minutes on the devotional deep-dive provided for each day’s focus line of the Lord’s prayer.

Die Bybel is duidelik hieroor: ons as mense is sondig en verdien om gestraf te word. Maar dit verduidelik ook dat God ons vergewe wanneer ons ons sondes bely en wegdraai daarvan. God stel ons ook in staat om onsself en ander te vergewe. Dit is baie bevrydend om te vergewe, en help ons om verhoudings te herstel. Hierdie leesplan bespreek 'n paar belangrike Bybelverse oor die gee en ontvang van vergifnis.
