1. In Jesus’ name I choose to forgive those who have hurt me.

 

2. I will confess my sins to God, especially the terrible sin of unforgiveness.  (And, by faith, I will receive God’s forgiveness and cleansing.)

 

3. I will, as God directs me, ask others for forgiveness for the wrongs I have done toward them.  (And I will make restitution as needed.)

 

4. From now on, I will ask God to bless the one who has hurt me.

 

5. I too will bless that person, doing kind, helpful things for him.

 

6. I will accept him and treat him with love and respect.

 

7. I will look at that person through the eyes of faith, and believe God to work in him.

 

Prayer

 

“Father in Heaven, in Jesus’ name I choose to forgive __________ for the wrongs he as done.  I chose to forgive him completely, without reservation, just as you have forgiven me.  And Lord, forgive me for my sin of unforgiveness.  I know that unforgiveness is terrible in your sight and I truly repent of it.  I don’t want any part of hatred and anger; I want only Your love and forgiveness toward him.  Forgive and cleanse me, ever deliver me from my “tormentors”, and make me pure in Your sight.  Thank you, O Lord, that according to Your Word that even as I have forgiven those who have hurt me, and have confessed my own sins, that you now forgive me.  Thank Your for forgiving me and making me white as snow!”
