Day 162 Forgiveness – A Prayer for Hungary

Dear God, thank you for creating my wonderful country. Thank you for the language you have given us. Thank you for our history, the times of strengths and the times of lows. Thank you for teaching us the lessons we had to learn and still having to learn. Thank you for these difficult times we are going through now. Thank you for your guiding hand holding a lantern in front of our feet. Thank you for the love you have given me for my country. That love is strengthened every day, when I am dreaming about my country, where people are not against each other and where people don’t swear with your name any more. That love is strengthened every day when I am dreaming about my country where people face up to their own brokenness and forgive the torturing past, the low self-confident present and the uncertain future. I am dreaming about a place I can go back to and could revive. Dear God please revive my nation, my dearest most beloved country: Hungary! Lord help us to us forgive the French and the other nations for Trianon, please take off the burden of grudge from our shoulders. Please Lord Father God let us forgive the 20th century for slicing up our country, please let us overcome the pain of the past. Please help us to hand over our deeply buried pain to you. Please Lord take those distressing words off our lips that does not please you and please help us to learn to pray again. Give us ears to hear you, eyes to see you and lips to worship you. In Jesus name: Amen.
