Forgiveness Prayer

"Let us pray...


The following prayer covers most significant areas of forgiveness. 
Often, such a prayer will bring to mind other areas that need forgiveness. 
Let the Holy Spirit move freely & guide your mind to persons or groups that you need to forgive.


Lord Jesus Christ, 
I ask today to forgive EVERYONE in my life.
I know that You will give me the strength to 
forgive & I thank You that You love me more 
than I love myself and want my happiness more than 
I desire it for myself. Father, I forgive YOU for 
the times death has come into the family, hard times,
financial difficulties, or what I thought were punishments
sent by You and people said, "It is God’s will" and I 
become bitter & resentful toward You. 


Purify my heart and mind today.
Lord, I forgive MYSELF for my sins, faults & failings,
for all that is bad in myself or that I think is bad, 
I forgive myself; and I accept Your forgiveness. 
I also forgive MYSELF for taking Your name in vain, not worshipping 
You by attending church, for hurting my parents, getting drunk, 
for sins against purity, bad books, bad movies, fornication, 
adultery, homosexuality. Also, for abortion, stealing, lying, 
defrauding, hurting peoples’ reputation. 
You have forgiven me today, and I forgive myself. 

Thank You, Lord, 
for your grace at this moment. I also forgive MYSELF 
for any delving in superstition, using ouija boards,
horoscopes, going to séances, using fortune telling or 
wearing lucky charms. I reject all that superstition and
choose You alone as my Lord and Savior. 
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.


Lord, I truly forgive my MOTHER.
I forgive her for all the times she hurt me, she resented
me, she was angry with me and for all the times she punished
me. I forgive her for all the times she preferred my brothers and 
sisters to me. I forgive her for the times she told me I was
dumb, ugly, stupid, the worst of the children or that I cost 
the family a lot of money. For the times she told me I was 
unwanted, an accident, a mistake or not what she expected, I forgive her.


Lord, I truly forgive my FATHER.
I forgive him for any non-support, any lack of love, affection
or attention. I forgive him for any lack of time, for not giving
me his companionship, for his drinking, arguing and fighting with
my mother or the other children. For his severe punishments, for 
desertion, for being away from home, for divorcing my mother or for
any running around, I do forgive him.


Lord, I forgive my SISTERS AND BROTHERS. 
I forgive those who rejected me, lied about me, hated me, resented me, 
competed for my parents’ love, those who hurt me, who physically harmed me. 
For those who were too severe on me, punished me or made my life unpleasant
in any way, I do forgive them.

Lord, I forgive my SPOUSE 
for lack of love, affection, consideration, support, attention,
communication; for faults, failings, weaknesses and those other 
acts or words that hurt or disturb me.


Jesus, I forgive my CHILDREN 
for their lack of respect, obedience, love, attention, support,
warmth, understanding; for their bad habits, falling away from the
church, any bad actions which disturb me.


Lord God, I forgive my IN-LAWS,
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, FATHER-IN-LAW, SON/DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND 
OTHER RELATIVES by marriage, who treat my family with a lack 
of love. For all their words, thoughts, actions or omissions 
which injure and cause pain, I forgive them.


Please help to forgive my RELATIVES,
my grandmother and grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins, who 
may have interfered in our family, been possessive of my parents,
who may have caused confusion or turned one parent against the other.


Jesus, help me to forgive my CO-WORKERS
who are disagreeable or make life miserable for me. For 
those who push their work off on me, gossip about me, won’t 
cooperate with me, try to take my job, I do forgive them.


Forgive My NEIGHBORS Lord. 
For all their noise, letting their property run down, not tying up their dogs who run
through my yard, not taking in their trash barrels, being
prejudiced and running down the neighborhood, I do forgive them.


I do forgive my CLERGYMAN, CONGREGATION & my CHURCH 
for their lack of support, affirmation, bad sermons, pettiness, lack of friendliness, not
providing me or my family with the inspiration we needed, for 
any hurts they have inflicted on me or my family, even in 
the distant past, I forgive them today.


Lord, I forgive ALL
those who are of different PERSUASIONS, those of opposite
political views who have attacked me, ridiculed me, discriminated
against me, made fun of me, economically hurt me.


I forgive those of different religious DENOMINATIONS AND BELIEFS
who have harassed me, attacked me, argued with me, 
forced their view on me or my family.


Those who have harmed me ETHNICALLY, 
have discriminated against me, mocked me, 
made jokes about my race or nationality, hurt my family
physically, emotionally or economically, I do forgive them today.


Lord, I forgive all PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE who have hurt me in any way:
doctors, nurses, lawyers, judges, politicians and civil servants. 

I forgive all service people.
Policemen, firemen, bus drivers, hospital workers and
especially repairmen who have taken advantage of me in their work.


Lord, I forgive my EMPLOYER 
for not paying me enough money, for not appreciating my work,
for being unkind and unreasonable with me, for being angry or
unfriendly, for not promoting me, and for not complimenting me on my work.


Lord, I forgive my SCHOOLTEACHERS & INSTRUCTORS 
of the past as well as the present. For those
who punished me, humiliated me, insulted me, treated me unjustly,
made fun of me, called me dumb or stupid, made me stay after 
school, I truly forgive them today.


Lord, I forgive my FRIENDS 
who have let me down, lost contact with me, do not support me,
were not available when I needed help, borrowed money and did not
return it, gossiped about me.


Lord Jesus, 
I especially pray for the grace of forgiveness for the ONE
PERSON in life who has HURT ME THE MOST. 


I ask to forgive anyone who I consider my greatest enemy, 
the one who is the hardest to forgive or the one who I said I will never forgive.

Lord,
I beg pardon of all these people for the hurt I have inflicted 
on them, especially my mother and father, and my marriage partner. 


I am especially sorry
for the three greatest hurts I have inflicted on each of these.


Thank You, Jesus,
that I am being freed of the evil of un-forgiveness.
Let Your Holy Spirit fill me with light and 
let every dark area of my mind be enlightened.
AMEN.


Forgiveness is an act of the will, not a feeling.
If we pray for a person, we can be assured that we have
forgiven that person. To help accept an individual and 
open ourselves to a particular person more, picture
him with the Lord Jesus and say to the Lord,
"I love him because You love him. I forgive him because You forgive him."

Forgiveness is a life-long obligation. 
Daily we need to forgive those who hurt or injure us."
