Day 30: As We Also Have Forgiven Our Debtors
Word:
Matthew 6.12b “as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

Scriptures For Today:
As you read today's Scriptures, read slowly and attentively, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you meditate on His Word.
Matthew 6.9 “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors…’”
Colossians 3.13 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Micah 7.18-19 "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea."
