Lord, help me to be a forgiving person

Proverbs 19:11  

A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

Luke 6:37  

“Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Old

Young and now am old -

Psalms 37:25  

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

Obsolete and growing old - 

Hebrews 8:13  

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

Hinders knowledge of God

Jeremiah 9:6  

You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the LORD.

Keeps men from God

Jeremiah 8:5  

Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.

Ravi Zacharias

. “I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.”

. “Implicit to the secularized world-view is not just the marginalization of any religious idea but its complete eviction from public credence in forming social policy. If an idea or belief is “religiously based”, be it in a matter of sexuality or marriage or education or whatever, then by that very virtue it is deemed unsuitable for public usage.”
