I feel pressured

Prayer When I Feel Pressured to Forgive

Pressure can make a tender process feel rushed and unsafe.

Scripture reference

James 1:5

Prayer

God, everyone seems to think I should be further along than I am. Some of them mean well. Some of them just want the discomfort to go away. Either way, I am the one being rushed. And the rushing is making it harder, not easier. I am not against forgiveness. I just cannot do it on someone else's timeline. Help me slow down enough to find what is actually true. And help me stop apologizing for needing more time than other people think I should need.
