Forgiving can be hard when you’ve been hurt by someone you love and trust. Feelings of betrayal and disappointment set in, and you may be tempted to resent the offender or even take revenge. Let this prayer help you draw strength from the Father to move from hurt to forgiveness and reconciliation.
Merciful and loving Father, we thank you for how you forgive our sins and remember them no more. As we commit to forgive one another and go for a brand new start in our relationship, we ask that you would enable us to forgive and love as you do. Send your grace so that we can restore what was broken and grow even closer out of this conflict. We praise you for the freedom we have through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. All honor and glory be yours now and forever. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, Amen.
When a loved one hurts you, know that God’s enabling grace will help you forgive and reconcile. In times of conflict, remember that as the Father lovingly and mercifully forgives you, so should you also forgive those who’ve wronged you.
