I knew I had forgiven him. At least, I thought I had. But as I spotted him from a distance coming up the aisle at the grocery store, a familiar pain pinched my stomach. I scurried over to the next aisle, ducking out of view. I began to wonder. Had I really forgiven this person who hurt me? I remember speaking words of forgiveness in prayer, but did I accept them in my heart?
Jesus gave us the ultimate example of how to forgive when he willingly hung on a cross to offer us forgiveness for our own sins. He spoke the powerful words, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34 NLT) This unfathomable demonstration of sacrifice showed how important it is for us to forgive. Yet we still struggle with it. So how can we forgive someone in our prayers and know we truly mean it with our hearts?
Colossians 3:13 says, “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” The words Paul shared with the church in the verses that follow can serve as instruction when we pray to forgive those who hurt us. Forgiveness is hard. But with God’s Word as our guide, we can learn to forgive even in the deepest places of pain. We can fully release the hurt and move forward with a newfound compassion for our offender.
Have you struggled to forgive that person who hurt you? Here is a prayer for forgiving them. Let’s join together in prayer with these words to our Heavenly Father. May they help us offer the gift of forgiveness today.
Dear Merciful Lord,

Thank you for your gift of forgiveness. Your only Son loved me enough to come to earth and experience the worst pain imaginable so I could be forgiven. Your mercy flows to me in spite of my faults and failures. Your Word says to “clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” (Col. 3:14) Help me demonstrate unconditional love today, even to those who hurt me.
I understand that even though I feel scarred, my emotions don’t have to control my actions. Father, may Your sweet words saturate my mind and direct my thoughts. Help me release the hurt and begin to love as Jesus loves. I want to see my offender through my Savior’s eyes. If I can be forgiven, so can he. I understand there are no levels to your love. We are all your children, and your desire is that none of us should perish.
You teach us to “let the peace that comes from Christ rule in our hearts.” (Col. 3:15) When I forgive in words, allow your Holy Spirit to fill my heart with peace. I pray this peace that only comes from Jesus will rule in my heart, keeping out doubt and questions. And above all, I am thankful. Not just today, not just this week, but always. Thank you for the reminder, “Always be thankful.” (Col. 3:15) With gratitude I can draw closer to you and let go of unforgiveness. With gratitude I can see the person who caused my pain as a child of the Most High God. Loved and accepted. Help me find the compassion that comes with true forgiveness.
And when I see the person who hurt me, bring this prayer back to my remembrance, so I can take any ungodly thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5) And may the confidence of Christ in my heart guide me into the freedom of forgiveness. I praise you for the work you are doing in my life, teaching and perfecting my faith.

A Prayer for Forgiving
June 13, 2012 by jddoug17
I wrote this post months ago, but it continues to draw many readers. It seems that we often need to forgive. I know I do. And I think the grace extended in forgiving expands into gratitude–especially appropriate at Thanksgiving, but needed all year long.
Steve and I had the privilege of teaching at our church—Antioch21—on Sunday. Over the summer the theme is Relationships, and we are teaching on two of the Sundays. This Sunday we talked about forgiveness.
One of our main points: Relationships require forgiveness.
We focused on the importance of forgiving—in big things and in the little every day irritations—for all relationships, but especially in marriage. We are flawed people who hurt others—even those we love.
Scripture is abundantly clear that God wants us to learn to forgive, even though people have wronged us and don’t deserve forgiveness. Paul sums it up with this instruction: “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)
And of course, our model is Jesus Himself, who said from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)
We spent a lot of time talking (conversation is always part of the sermon time at Antioch21) about forgiving—the big, seemingly impossible to forgive things, and the little hurts that happen every day.
Then we provided a prayer to help us to take the step to forgive someone who has hurt us or offended us. (I first shared a similar prayer in my recent post “Grace Forgives.”)
Perhaps there is someone you will want to forgive.
A PRAYER FOR FORGIVING
Father, thank You for Your mercy and grace toward me, and for forgiving my sins through Your Son’s death on the cross. Thank You that You forgive me over and over, for repeated sins and for new sins, big or small. I am so grateful for your grace.
Lord, I need to forgive ___________, who has wronged me, hurt me, betrayed me, offended me, sinned against me. It is hard for me to do this—I am still hurt, angry, confused. So I come asking You for the power to forgive ____________. Fill me with Your Spirit and remind me of Your love and mercy to me—and to _______________.
By Your Spirit, I choose to forgive ________________. I choose to extend grace and mercy to him/her, even as You have done for me. I choose, as You enable me, to live at peace with this person. I ask that You bless ____________ in Your love. Please may we be reconciled and our relationship healed. And if that does not happen, may I continue to love and forgive.
Thank You that this is possible in the power of Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name.
What about you? Is there someone you need to forgive?

Father, I don’t know how You do it. You forgive us every single time we ask no matter what has gone down. So, how to we forgive other people like that? Could you help us? For You say,
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV
Lord, I want to be free from anger and resentment. I don’t want to look at another human being and want to scowl, I want to smile knowing I have forgiven and can move on. So, I’m getting rid of this. I am giving this to You because I’m tired of carrying around the heavy weight of emotional pain. Right now, we release that painful situation, and will stop allowing our past to have any power over our future. That way we can smile at that person, at everyone, and experience more joy. -In Jesus’ name, Amen.
