Last Call

by Lakisha Johnson

Thank you for giving us another chance, another minute of your grace and another day to bask in your glory. Now God, I ask that you forgive us. Forgive us for holding on to the ties that are disturbing our mental. Forgive us for holding grudges instead of forgiving those who hurt us. Forgive us for taking your peace for granted. Father, tonight I ask you to strengthen every man and woman who’s listening, with the courage to destroy the ties. Not just mental but physical, emotional, social, financial, sexual and even spiritual ties. Give us the strength to destroy what we gave power to stay. No more shall we live with the burdens of broken promises and hearts. No more will we live with the hurt and shame. What’s done is done and we can’t change it, but we can move on from it. Tonight Father, allow us to leave this place freer than we were when we came in. Give us the words to forgive and the boldness to bask in the effects of being released from bondage. We thank you father and until we shall all gather again, keep us. Amen.”
