If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also
and if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Matthew 5:39-42
Father God, it is not easy to turn the other cheek when someone wrongs us, O God, but your Son Jesus showed us your perfect love by forgiving those who hurt him. Thank you for reminding me that I need to love as you love, to forgive as you forgive and to remember that I am your child above all things.Give me a loving and willing spirit, help me be patient, and walk humbly in the footsteps of my Savior, Jesus, I pray in his Holy name. Amen
