Avinu Malkeinu, our Father and our King, I thank You that I can come to You and bare my soul. I must confess that there is part of me that wants to pray one way, but it is very difficult for me to do so. In my heart I know You want me to pray for those who seek to harm me and others, but in my flesh I want to pray for me and others that they may not harm us. I also confess that I did not seek You with all of my heart when I took on these partners. I was more impressed with their vocational resumes than I was with their spiritual walk. I should not have entered into the partnership and become unequally yoked, as I had plenty of clues, but I chose to ignore them, and for that I repent. But now, my mistake has caused others harm. They trusted me and I let them down and I repent of that as well.

Father, how do I pray for my partners and for the others? Remove from me the evil desire for my partners to get what they deserve, as I would not like to get what I deserve, so how can I want that for them? Please soften my heart toward them and give me guidance and wisdom to rightly handle the situation going forward. Punish me for my disobedience, but guard the others from the consequences of my hard-heart.

I ask that You make right what I have made wrong. Forgive me and cleanse me, and help me to walk in Your ways. Help me to see that my ways are not Your ways, and help me to have confidence that if I will trust You, Your will be done, not my will. Help me to do as I recently heard. Trust in Your promises and not be consumed with my circumstances. As for my partners, draw them to Yourself and forgive them, make them to see Your grace, and give them peace.

I pray Shem Yeshua HaMoshiach Adoneinu; I pray in the name of Jesus, our Messiah, and our Lord.
