Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:32)
Forgiving Father,
Help these children to see the depth of their own sin and failure. Help them to see the enormity of your forgiveness. Help them to believe that, through Jesus, you have indeed fully and continually forgiven them. Mold them with this knowledge and belief such that they are patient with others as you have been patient with them, such that they are kind to others as you have been kind to them, such that they are compassionate with others as you have been compassionate with them and such that they forgive others as you have forgiven them.
Keep their sin and your forgiveness ever before them. Keep their sin and your forgiveness ever before them. Keep their sin and your forgiveness ever before them. Lead them to mercy.
Amen
