A Prayer Of Forgiveness
"Forgiving one another, just as God...has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32 NLT
The Bible says: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types
of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you" (vv. 31-32 NLT). Are you struggling to forgive someone? Here is a prayer: "Lord, I praise you for forgiving me and washing my sins away. Reveal anything I need to confess to you today so that I can bring it before you and be cleansed and set free, especially any place in my heart where I have not forgiven someone. I know how subtly resentment and bitterness can build up and hinder my prayers. I recognize that my lack of forgiveness toward others can keep me from experiencing your forgiveness (See Mark 11:25). To say that I need your help to forgive others the way you have always been forgiving toward me is a huge understatement. You forgave the unforgivable on the cross. I acknowledge that I am incapable of forgiving on my own. Remind me that I cannot make my forgiveness conditional upon whether people deserve it or not, and that the focus of my heart must remain on becoming more like you. Give me grace to forgive, and not hold forgiveness back until the other person says or does what I think they should. Take away anything of anger, bitterness, or resentment in my heart.
Pour out your Spirit upon me and cleanse me of all that's not of you. Enable me to walk in the forgiveness you have given me and to extend it to others. In Jesus' name I pray. men."
