Forgiveness = Freedom

Lord, Help Me to Be a Forgiving Person

"The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression." Proverbs 19:11

Lord, help me to forgive others quickly. Show me when I am not doing that. If I have any anger, bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness I am not recognizing, reveal it to me and I will confess it to You as sin. Specifically, I ask You to help me fully forgive (name anyone you feel you need to forgive). Make me understand the depth of Your forgiveness toward me so that I won’t hold back forgiveness from others. I realize that my forgiving someone doesn’t make them right; it makes me free. I also realize You are the only one who knows the whole story and will see that justice is done, so I can release that person into Your hands.

In Jesus’ name I pray.

Teach My Child to Forgive Quickly

"Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37

Lord, I pray You will help (name of child) to be a forgiving person. Help her (him) to understand the depth of Your forgiveness toward her (him) so that she (he) can be freely forgiving toward others. Teach her (him) to make the decision to forgive based on what You’ve asked us to do and not on what feels good at the moment. Give her (him) understanding that only You know the whole story about any of us, and that’s why she (he) doesn’t have the right to judge. Where she (he) has any unforgiveness, help her (him) to confess it to You so she (he) can move into all that You have for her (him).

In Jesus’ name I pray.
