Merciful Father, You have taught us how to pray. You prayed, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12)
It is my desire to forgive others in the same way You have forgiven me. Help me to walk in that kind of forgiveness, LORD. (Mark 11:24-26)
Forgive me wherein I have failed to walk in forgiveness. By an act of faith, Merciful Father, I now forgive those who have created problems in my life. I pray for them now, and I ask You to set them free from any bondage caused by my lack of forgiveness.
Your Word declares that if I will forgive the trespasses of others, You will forgive my trespasses. I know I need to forgive by brother seventy times seven, and more. (Matthew 18:21-22)
Teach me to forgive my brothers and sisters from my heart. (Matthew 18:35)
LORD, when I do not forgive someone who has hurt me, I harbor hatred in my heart. This is not Your way. I will always beware lest any root of bitterness springing up within me would defile me and others, for I do not want to defile that which You have cleansed and purified through Your precious blood and Your Word.
When I pray, LORD, help me to remember when anyone might have something against me. At such times, help me to respond by going to my brother or sister and asking him or her to forgive me. (Matthew 5:23-24)
Abba Father, only because of your grace and forgiveness am I able to put on, as the elect of GOD, holy and beloved, bowles of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering. You enable me to forbear with others, and to forgive others when they have wronged me. (Colossians 3:12-16)
This is my commitment to You, Father, and to the other people in my life.
LORD, even when I may suffer wrongfully, help me to be forgiving. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward GOD, should be wrongly accused and remain forgiving. I know there is no glory in my taking buffeting for my faults patiently; but when I do well, and suffer for it, and take it patiently, this is acceptable with You.
(1 Peter 2:19-24)
Thank You for calling me to suffer in behalf of Christ. All who live godly in You will suffer persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12)
But, LORD, You suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in your steps. (1 Peter 2:19-24)
Teach me Your way in all things, Father, especially in forgiveness.
In Christ Yeshua's name I pray. Amen and Amen
