A Prayer for When You Don't Feel Like Forgiving
The story of Joseph and his brothers speaks to just this: how do we forgive the people who inflict pain and suffering on us? Joseph and his brothers experience a bad case of sibling rivalry. Joseph was his father’s favorite son, and all his children knew it. It didn’t help the sibling relationship when Joseph shared a dream that implied his brothers would one day serve him( Read Genesis 37-50 to understand the full story of Joseph better). The brothers decided they had enough of Joseph and sold him into slavery. Joseph ends up in Egypt, and after a rough patch of being wrongly accused and imprisoned, he becomes Pharaoh’s right-hand man. The land had a famine, and Joseph was responsible for food distribution. His brothers reconnect with Joseph ( unknowingly at first) as they had to travel to Egypt to buy food for their families.
