"Merciful Father, I come before You with a heavy heart, acknowledging my sins and shortcomings. I have fallen short of Your glory and failed to live up to Your standards. I confess my wrongdoings to You - the things I have done that I shouldn't have, and the things I failed to do that I should have. Please forgive me for Christ's sake. Wash me clean with His precious blood and make me white as snow. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Help me to turn away from sin and walk in Your righteous paths. Thank You for Your promise that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us. In Jesus' name, Amen."
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
— 1 John 1:9
"Lord Jesus, You have forgiven me of so much, and now You call me to forgive others. This person who has hurt me, who has wronged me deeply - I struggle to release my anger and resentment. But with Your help, I choose to forgive. I release them from the debt they owe me and place them in Your hands for judgment and mercy. Heal my wounded heart and help me to see them through Your eyes of love. Remove all bitterness from my soul and replace it with Your peace. Give me strength to bless those who have cursed me and to pray for those who have hurt me. In Your forgiving name, Amen."
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
— Ephesians 4:32
"Gracious God, sometimes the hardest person to forgive is myself. I am haunted by past mistakes, poor choices, and moments of failure. The guilt and shame seem overwhelming at times. But Your Word tells me that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Help me to accept Your complete forgiveness and to forgive myself. Free me from the prison of self-condemnation. Help me to learn from my past without being enslaved by it. Let Your grace be sufficient for me, and may Your strength be made perfect in my weakness. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. In Jesus' liberating name, Amen."
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
— Romans 8:1
Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Christian faith. God's forgiveness of our sins through Christ's sacrifice on the cross is the foundation of our relationship with Him. This divine forgiveness then empowers us to forgive others.
When we pray for forgiveness, we experience God's love, mercy, and grace in profound ways. As we learn to forgive others and ourselves, we find freedom from bitterness and peace for our souls.
