Guided Prayer
A Prayer for Strength to Forgive
Matthew 6:14–15 · ESV
[14] For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, [15] but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (ESV)
MAKE THIS PRAYER YOUR OWN
This guided prayer is a starting point. Take your time. Pause when you need to. Add what's on your heart and allow this to become your own conversation with God.
PRAY
Dear God, I'm struggling to forgive. The hurt runs deep, and part of me wants to hold on. But You forgave me far more than I'll ever be asked to forgive anyone else. Soften my heart. Help me release what I'm owed. Free me from the weight of resentment. Heal the wound, and let me forgive the way You forgave me. In Jesus' name, amen.
