Daily Devotional

Day 21 - Feb. 1

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31–32

Our God is full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He has not treated us as our sins deserve but has freely forgiven us. We love because we’ve been loved, and we forgive because we have been forgiven.

1. Pray that God would reveal any place in your heart where bitterness, anger, or spitefulness has taken root. Confess and ask for wisdom in repenting.

2. Ask God to give you a tender heart toward those he has placed around you. Pray for the ability to see them as God sees them and respond in ways that mirror God’s love for you.

3. Pray that we would be a people who are known for our kindness and compassion. Ask God to give us a visible unity and purposeful love for one another that sets us apart from the world.

KIDS PROMPT: How does your anger hurt other people? How does it hurt you? 

PRAY WITH KIDS: God, you do not get angry easily. You are bursting with everlasting love. Help me to be like you. Help me to love others and put away anger. Help me to see other people the way that you do.
