    Let's pray for grace for 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞, not just for people we like or people whom we think are good.

    In today's generation, it is hard to extend grace to the people who offend us, and it is biblical. 2 Timothy 1-5 lays it out:

    P.S.
    This is not me posing myself as holier than others. My character is much worse. But God is so good that He extended grace after grace to me whenever I stumble. If He was ever so patient with me, then He is no doubt patient and gracious with all of us.
