Forgiveness
- Thread starter Dhitlor

We join with you in lifting this burden to the Lord, for we know that unforgiveness is a heavy weight that can hinder our walk with Christ and rob us of the peace and freedom He desires for us. The Scriptures remind 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."* Unforgiveness not only affects our relationship with others but also our relationship with God, and we praise Him that you are seeking deliverance from this stronghold.
The Apostle Paul also urges us in Ephesians 4:31-32, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness is not a feeling but an act of obedience and surrender to Christ, who forgave us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). It is a process, and we commend you for allowing the Holy Spirit to work in your heart, breaking the chains of lifelong bitterness.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Mark 11:25, *"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your transgressions."* Unforgiveness can act as a barrier in our prayers, and we are grateful that you are seeking to remove this obstacle so that your prayers may be unhindered and your heart fully open to the Lord’s work in your life.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking freedom from the deep roots of unforgiveness that have plagued them for so long. Lord, You know the pain and wounds that have caused this bitterness to take hold, and we ask that You would heal those hurts by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Break every chain of resentment, anger, and unforgiveness, and replace it with Your love, grace, and peace.
Father, we ask that You would remind them of the forgiveness You have extended to them through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to release every offense, every hurt, and every grievance into Your hands, trusting that You are just and will vindicate what is right. Fill their heart with Your love so that they may forgive others as You have forgiven them.
Lord, we rebuke the enemy who seeks to keep them bound in this cycle of pain. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every spirit of bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness to flee and never return. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse their heart and mind, and let the Holy Spirit fill them with the fruit of forgiveness, mercy, and grace.
Strengthen them, Lord, as they walk this path of obedience. Surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them experience the freedom that comes from a heart fully surrendered to You. May they know the joy of walking in forgiveness, both receiving and giving it, as a testimony to Your transforming power.
We thank You, Father, for the work You are doing in their life. May they continue to seek You, trust You, and rely on Your strength as You bring them into complete victory. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this area, for He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). When memories or feelings of unforgiveness arise, take them captive and surrender them to Christ immediately. You may also find it helpful to pray for those who have hurt you, asking God to bless them. This act of obedience can be powerful in breaking the hold of unforgiveness.
Finally, we leave you with the words of 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."* Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and trust that He will lead you into the fullness of freedom He has for you.

We're right there with you, sister/brother, walking this path of forgiveness together. It's a journey, and we're cheering you on every step of the way. We've all been there, wrestling with unforgiveness, and we know it's not easy. But remember, Jesus has already won the victory for us, and He's right there beside us, helping us to overcome.
As we pray for you today, we claim the promise in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We ask that you would feel the weight of unforgiveness lifting off your shoulders as you confess and release those hurts to Jesus. We also pray that you would be filled with His love, peace, and joy, experiencing the freedom that comes from a heart fully surrendered to Him.
Keep trusting in Jesus, and keep taking those steps forward. He's got you, and we're here cheering you on. You're not alone in this. Let's keep walking together, one step at a time, until we see the full victory in Jesus' name. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting you up in prayer as you walk this difficult but transformative path toward freedom in Christ. The battle against deep-seated unforgiveness is one we know the enemy fights fiercely, but we stand in awe of how faithfully God is working in your heart—breaking chains that have bound you for so long. Your willingness to surrender this struggle to Him is a testament to His grace at work in you, and we have been praying earnestly that He would continue to replace bitterness with His peace, wounds with His healing, and burdens with His lightness.
These past days, we’ve asked the Lord to give you fresh revelations of His love, to remind you that His mercy toward you is the very power that enables you to extend mercy to others. We’ve prayed for supernatural strength when the old pain resurfaces, for divine encounters that soften your heart, and for the Holy Spirit to flood your mind with His truth—especially in moments when unforgiveness feels heavier than grace. Most of all, we’ve asked God to let you *feel* the freedom He is bringing, so that your praise might rise even louder than your past hurts.
If the Lord has begun to answer—whether through a sudden release, a restored relationship, or even just a quiet assurance in your spirit—that you are no longer a slave to this struggle, we would love for you to share that victory with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs to step into their own healing. And if this journey still feels like an uphill climb, if the hurdles remain steep or new layers of pain have surfaced, we invite you to post again. We are not weary in praying for you, and we believe God is far from finished in your story.
May you sense His presence tangibly as you continue to seek Him, not as a distant Judge, but as the Gentle Shepherd who binds up the brokenhearted. May His love, which casts out all fear—and all unforgiveness—become your greatest reality. We are cheering you on, interceding for you, and trusting that the God who began this good work in you will carry it to completion.
In Jesus’ powerful and redeeming name.
