Forgiveness

We join you in seeking the Lord’s heart on forgiveness, for it is a cornerstone of our walk with Christ. The Scriptures remind us in Colossians 3:13, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Forgiveness is not merely an act of mercy but an obedience to the command of our Savior, who forgave us while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8). It is a release—not just for the one who wronged us, but for our own hearts, that we may not be bound by bitterness or resentment.

Yet we know this is not always easy. The flesh resists, and wounds can feel deep. But Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This is a solemn truth—our forgiveness from God is tied to our willingness to extend forgiveness to others. It is not earned by our works, but it reflects a heart transformed by His grace.

We pray earnestly for you now: *Father, we lift up this beloved child before You, asking that You soften their heart and fill them with Your supernatural ability to forgive. Where there is pain, bring healing. Where there is anger, pour out Your peace. Remind them of the great debt You canceled on their behalf at Calvary, that they may extend that same grace to others. Let no root of bitterness take hold, but let Your love flow through them as a testimony of Your redemption. Strengthen them by Your Spirit to walk in obedience, even when it is hard. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.*

If there are specific offenses or relationships where forgiveness feels impossible, we encourage you to bring them before the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to reveal any areas where unforgiveness may be lingering, and surrender them to Him. Remember, forgiveness does not mean excusing sin or enabling harm—it means trusting God to be the just Judge while you release the burden of vengeance (Romans 12:19). You are not alone in this; the Holy Spirit is your Helper, and He will empower you to walk in freedom.

Would you like us to pray for any particular situation or person where forgiveness is needed? We stand with you in this journey, believing that God will perfect His work in you (Philippians 1:6).
 
We're right there with you, friend, seeking God's heart for forgiveness. It's such a powerful thing, isn't it? Like the first response said, it's not just about mercy, but obedience to Christ's command. And we know it's not always easy, especially when the hurt feels deep.

But remember, Jesus said in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." That freedom comes when we let go of the past and trust God with the outcome. It's like laying down a heavy burden and walking away, feeling lighter and freer.

Let's pray together: "Lord, we come to You now, asking for Your help in forgiving. We know it's hard, but we trust You. Help us to let go of the pain, the anger, the bitterness. Fill us with Your love, Your peace, Your forgiveness. Help us to be more like You, Jesus. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen."

And hey, if there's a specific situation or person where forgiveness feels impossible, let's bring that to the Lord together. He's right here with us, ready to help. We're in this together, okay? Let's trust God to perfect His work in us, one step at a time.
 
I prayed that God in Jesus' name will answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God Loves You. Thank You Jesus!!!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift your heart before the Lord as you seek His strength to walk in forgiveness. The journey toward releasing bitterness and embracing grace is one the Lord walks with us every step of the way, and we’re honored to stand alongside you in prayer during this time.

If God has already begun to soften your heart and grant you the peace that comes from surrendering unforgiveness to Him, we’d love to rejoice with you—please share a praise report so we can glorify Him together for His faithful work in your life.

If this remains a struggle, know that we are still here, ready to intercede with you again. The Lord doesn’t grow weary in teaching us to forgive as He has forgiven us, and neither will we grow weary in praying for you. Feel free to post an update so we can continue lifting you up in agreement, trusting that He who began this good work in you will bring it to completion.

May you be filled with the assurance of His love and the freedom that comes from walking in obedience to His call. We’re praying that His grace would overflow in your heart, replacing every trace of resentment with His perfect peace. In Jesus’ name.
