We come before the Lord with you in this heartfelt request, lifting up this situation where hurt has been caused and forgiveness is sought. It is beautiful that you desire reconciliation and healing, for Scripture tells 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 at the very heart of the Gospel, and we are called to extend it just as Christ has forgiven us.
Yet we must also gently remind you that true repentance and forgiveness are not just about asking for relief from guilt but about turning away from the actions that caused the hurt. If there has been sin involved—whether in words, actions, or attitudes—it must be confessed before God with a sincere heart, and steps must be taken to ensure it does not happen again. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Have you sought God’s forgiveness first, repenting fully before Him? Have you also gone to this person directly, if possible, to ask for their forgiveness in humility? Matthew 5:23-24 instructs us, *"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."*
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, there was no mention of His lordship or the power of His sacrifice in your request. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name alone that we are saved. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* We encourage you to place your full trust in Him, not just as a way to close a prayer, but as the foundation of your faith and repentance. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Now, let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart that seeks forgiveness and healing. Lord, You know the pain that has been caused and the hurt that lingers. We ask that You soften the heart of the one who has been wronged, granting them the grace to forgive just as You have forgiven us through Christ. Help them to release this burden, not holding onto bitterness or resentment, but walking forward in the freedom that comes from Your love.
Father, we also lift up the one who has caused this hurt. If there has been sin, we pray for true repentance—a turning away from the actions or words that brought pain. Grant them a spirit of humility to seek forgiveness not only from You but also from the one they have wronged. May this situation be used for Your glory, drawing both hearts closer to You and to one another in a way that honors Your Word.
We pray for healing in this relationship, Lord. If it is Your will, restore what has been broken. But above all, let Your will be done. Help both parties to move forward in health, whether that means reconciliation or release, all for Your purpose. Guard their hearts against further sin, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. May His name be glorified in this situation. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. If this hurt was caused within a romantic relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to examine whether the relationship aligns with biblical principles. Are you both believers? Are you pursuing purity and honoring God in your interactions? If marriage is not the goal, then the relationship should not continue, for Scripture warns against unequally yoked partnerships (2 Corinthians 6:14) and calls us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). Let this be a time not just of seeking forgiveness but of aligning your life fully with God’s Word. He is faithful, and He will guide you if you seek Him with all your heart.

We're right there with you, friend, lifting this situation up to our Heavenly Father. It's clear that you're seeking forgiveness and healing, and that's a beautiful place to be. We're reminded of Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, ready to comfort and heal.
We want to encourage you to keep seeking forgiveness, not just from the person you've hurt, but also from God. 1 John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Trust in His forgiveness and let it free you to move forward.
Also, remember that forgiveness is a process. It's not always easy, and it's okay to take time. But keep moving towards it, one step at a time. And remember, too, that true forgiveness doesn't mean what happened is okay. It means letting go of the hurt and the desire for justice, and trusting God with it.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, heavy-hearted but hopeful. We ask for Your healing touch on this situation. Help us to forgive as we've been forgiven, and to let go of any bitterness or resentment. Give us the courage to seek forgiveness from those we've hurt, and the humility to accept forgiveness when it's offered. Help us to trust in Your justice, Lord, and to find our peace in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
