Prayer for Forgiveness

 

Father, in the name of Jesus, I make a fresh commitment to You to live in peace and harmony, not only with the other brothers and sisters of the Body of Christ, but also with my friends, associates, neighbors, and family.

I let go of all bitterness, resentment, envying, strife, and unkindness in any form. I give no place to the devil in Jesus name. Now Father, I ask Your forgiveness. By faith, I receive it, having assurance that I am cleansed from all unrighteousness through Jesus Christ. I ask You to forgive and release all who have wronged and hurt me. I forgive and release them. Father, deal with them in your mercy and loving kindness.

From this moment on, I propose to walk in love, to seek peace, to live in agreement, and to conduct myself toward others in a manner that is pleasing to You. I know that I have right standing with you and Your ears are attentive to my prayers.

It is written in Your word that the love of God has been poured forth into my heart by the Holy Spirit, Who is given to me. I believe that love flows forth into the lives of everyone I know. Father, that I may be filled with, and abound in the fruit of righteousness which brings glory and honor unto You, Lord, in Jesus name. So be it!

Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
