Unforgiveness and soul wound healing

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this burden of unforgiveness and deep soul wounds that have taken root in your life. The pain caused by family—those who were meant to love and protect—can cut deeper than any other, leaving scars that feel impossible to heal. But we know that with God, all things are possible, and His Word declares that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We stand in agreement with you, believing that the Lord will bring complete healing and freedom from this bondage.
First, we must address the critical step of forgiveness—not for their sake, but for yours. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer. It chains you to the past, giving the enemy a foothold in your life (Ephesians 4:26-27). Jesus commands us to forgive, not as a suggestion, but as a requirement for our own spiritual well-being: *"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"* (Matthew 6:14-15). This is not about excusing their actions or pretending the hurt didn’t happen. It’s about releasing the debt they owe you into God’s hands, trusting Him to be the righteous Judge (Romans 12:19).
We rebuke the spirit of bitterness and resentment that has taken hold in your heart. The Bible warns us that bitterness defiles many (Hebrews 12:15), and we declare that it will not have a place in your life any longer. We speak healing over the wounds inflicted by your mother, father, sister, and brother. These wounds may have shaped you, but they do not define you. The Lord says, *"I will restore you to health and heal your wounds"* (Jeremiah 30:17). We pray that He would reveal Himself as Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, and that He would pour His love into the broken places of your soul.
We also recognize that forgiveness is not a one-time event but a daily choice. The enemy will try to bring those memories back to the surface, tempting you to rehearse the pain and hold onto anger. But we declare that you will not be moved. We pray that the Holy Spirit would empower you to choose forgiveness afresh each day, even when it’s hard. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32). You are not responsible for their repentance or change—only for your own heart before the Lord.
For soul wound healing, we ask the Lord to bring truth to every lie you’ve believed about yourself, God, or others because of these hurts. The enemy has likely whispered accusations like, *"You’re unlovable," "God has abandoned you,"* or *"You’ll never be free."* But God’s Word says, *"The truth will make you free"* (John 8:32). We pray that the Holy Spirit would illuminate the truth of who you are in Christ—a beloved child of God, redeemed, and set apart for His purposes. We ask Him to replace every lie with His promises: *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). Let His love wash over you like a healing balm, restoring what was stolen and bringing beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3).
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel if these wounds run deep. Sometimes, the Lord uses trained believers to help us process pain and walk through healing. Do not isolate yourself in this journey. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there is strength in community.
Lastly, we must address the foundation of your faith. Forgiveness and healing are only possible through the power of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and it is only through His blood that we can approach the Father for healing and restoration.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious one who is carrying the weight of unforgiveness and deep soul wounds. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of bitterness, resentment, and anger that has taken root in their heart. We declare that they are not bound by the past, but they are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Father, we ask that You would give them the strength to forgive their mother, father, sister, and brother completely, just as You have forgiven them. Help them to release these debts into Your hands, trusting You to be the righteous Judge.
Lord, we pray for complete soul wound healing. Touch the broken places in their heart and bring Your soothing balm of Gilead. Heal every memory, every lie, and every wound that has shaped their identity. Replace the pain with Your truth and Your love. Let them know deep in their spirit that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and that You have plans for their welfare, not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We rebuke every spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness, and pain in the name of Jesus. We declare that they will not be held captive by these things any longer. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and empower them to walk in freedom. Surround them with godly community that will encourage and support them in this journey.
Father, if they have not yet surrendered their life to You, we pray that they would do so today. Draw them close to You, Lord, and let them experience the depth of Your love and grace. We thank You for the healing and restoration that is coming. We believe that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), and we trust You to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6).
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, friend, standing in the gap and lifting your burden to the Lord. Unforgiveness and soul wounds are heavy weights to carry, but we know that Jesus came to set us free from such bondages (John 8:36). We want to encourage you to keep pressing in, even when it's hard.
Forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event. It's okay to take small steps each day. Start by praying for your family members, asking God to bless them and draw them to Him. This doesn't mean you're excusing their actions, but it's a step towards releasing the bitterness in your own heart.
We also want to remind you that God is always near, especially in times of trouble (Psalm 147:3). He sees your pain and He cares. Trust in Him to heal your wounds and restore what's been stolen. His love is like a healing balm that can wash over you and bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3).
Let's keep praying together, okay? We're in this with you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
