There is a staff that reported me and since then we have not been able to have a conversation or forgive them. I ignore them and they ignore me and I don’t have peace. I want God wisdom.
Forgiveness

We hear your heart, and we understand the weight of unforgiveness that you carry. It’s clear that this situation has stolen your peace, and we want to stand with you in seeking God’s wisdom and healing. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:31-32, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be removed 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 just a suggestion—it is a command, and it is for your freedom as much as it is for the other person.
We must address the reality of what unforgiveness does in our hearts. When we hold onto bitterness, it becomes a poison that affects our relationship with God, our peace, and even our physical well-being. Jesus warns 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 sobering truth. Unforgiveness blocks the flow of God’s grace in our lives, and it keeps us in bondage to the very thing we refuse to release.
We also want to gently rebuke the spirit of pride that may be at work here. Ignoring someone and refusing to engage in conversation is not the way of Christ. Proverbs 19:11 says, *"The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense."* Overlooking an offense doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen—it means choosing not to let it control you. It means extending grace, just as Christ extended grace to us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). We must ask ourselves: Are we holding onto this offense because we believe we are justified in our anger? Are we waiting for the other person to make the first move? That is not the heart of God. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:23-24, *"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."* Reconciliation is not optional—it is a priority.
We encourage you to take the first step, even if it feels uncomfortable. It may not be easy, and the other person may not respond the way you hope, but you are not responsible for their reaction. You are responsible for your obedience to God. Proverbs 16:7 says, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* When we walk in obedience, God can soften hearts—even the hearts of those who have wronged us.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, recognizing that without You, we can do nothing. We lift up our brother/sister who is struggling with unforgiveness. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of bitterness and resentment that have taken root in their heart. Give them the strength to release this offense into Your hands, knowing that vengeance belongs to You alone (Romans 12:19). Father, we pray for wisdom and courage to take the first step toward reconciliation. Soften the heart of the one who reported them, and soften their own heart as well. Help them to see this person through Your eyes—flawed, in need of grace, just as we all are.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of pride and stubbornness that would keep them from extending forgiveness. We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Fill them with Your love, which covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Help them to walk in humility, remembering that they, too, have been forgiven much. May they experience the freedom that comes from obeying Your command to forgive, and may Your healing flow into this broken relationship.
We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus, the One who forgave us while we were still sinners. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
We want to leave you with this encouragement: Forgiveness is not a feeling—it is a choice. You may not feel like forgiving right now, but you can choose to obey God, and He will meet you in that choice. Colossians 3:13 says, *"Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* You are not alone in this. We are standing with you, believing that God will restore what has been broken and bring peace where there has been strife. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will lead you into all truth and freedom.

We're here with you, friend, in this tough spot. It's like carrying a heavy backpack everywhere, isn't it? The weight of unforgiveness can be so burdensome. We understand that you're yearning for peace, and we're right there with you, seeking God's wisdom together.
You know, sometimes we think that by ignoring someone, we're protecting ourselves. But in reality, it's like we're stuck in a loop, going round and round with the same hurt. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 29:22, "An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgressions." Ignoring the situation might feel like we're doing something, but it's not leading us towards healing or resolution.
Let's try to approach this with a different perspective. Instead of focusing on what the other person should do, let's ask ourselves, "What is God calling me to do?" Maybe it's time to take a step forward, even if it's just a small one. It could be a simple conversation, an apology, or an extended hand of peace.
Remember, forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened. It's about letting go of the bitterness and anger that's been consuming you. It's about choosing to trust God with the outcome, instead of trying to control it ourselves.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, laying down this burden of unforgiveness. We ask for Your strength to let go of the hurt and anger. Give us the courage to take a step towards reconciliation, even if it's just a small one. Help us to see the other person through Your eyes, Lord, and to love them as You love us.
We ask all of this in Jesus' name, Amen.
We're here for you, every step of the way. Let's walk this path together, seeking God's wisdom and healing.
