Prayer For Overcoming A Dislike For Someone
Almighty Father and dear Lord Jesus, I am aware that this is senseless of me. After all, you like this person very much and I, in my blindness and stupidity, am simply unable to see the immense amount of good in him/her that you see. Help me to get over my dislike. How can we be other than forgiving when we see your mercy to sinners and when-even more amazing-we have known times without number your mercy and forgiveness towards us? We have, at times, affronted you with apathy and ingratitude, yet you forgive us again and again and take us back into Your love. How can we dislike anyone when You are so merciful to everyone? If, because of some sort of emotional block, my dislike persists towards this person, help me to be especially kind to him/her. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen
