Forgiving others - a prayer

 

Lord Jesus

Thank You that You died for the forgiveness of my sins, that I might live in the presence of Your Holy Spirit all this earthly life and dwell with You in Heaven for eternity. How wonderful is Your saving grace. How good it is to know You and to daily learn more of our Father’s love. Thank You Jesus. I owe all that I have and the many blessings I enjoy every day to You.

Lord, You know the circumstances in my life that have caused me to have an unforgiving heart. I pray now, in the strength of Jesus, to forgive those who have hurt me, who have caused a rift in relationships. I thank You that You’ve already taken my hurt and pain on the cross. Lord, I wish to cause You joy, not pain. I wish to grow deeper in love with You.

I release that person to You. Through the power of Your grace, I forgive them.  I pray that You would bless them today by revealing a sense of You to them. Guide me in any future interactions with that person I pray.

Thank You for the gift of forgiveness, that You have freely given so that we may extend forgiveness to others. Thank You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit for Your constant love.

In Jesus’ name amen.
