A Prayer of Forgiveness
I want you to think of the person you need to forgive, the person whose offense planted a seed of bitterness in you, and I want you to pray this prayer right now:
“God, only you understand how much I’ve been hurt by this person. I don’t want to carry the pain for another second. I don’t want to be a bitter person. But I need your grace and the power of the cross to release my hurt and to forgive the person who hurt me. This is the turning point. First, I need to ask for your forgiveness. I’m sorry for how I’ve hurt others, and I want to make it right with you and them. Thank you for your grace that I need every day. Today I’m letting go of my resentment and choosing to forgive the way you have forgiven me. Every time the memory comes back, I’ll forgive that person again until the pain is gone. Please heal my heart with your grace.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
