Forgiveness Prayer (excerpt from Always Loved: You are God’s Treasure, not His Project)
You don’t need to speak directly to the ones who hurt you. (In many cases there would be denial of any wrongdoing, and in some cases the person is no longer alive.) But I do encourage you to speak to them as though they were present. If this is particularly difficult, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. When you are ready, you can say something like this out loud:
"________ (Name), I forgive you for all the pain you caused me in my life. (Be specific about what you are forgiving this person for. It really helps to get it out.) I forgive you for not being able to love me and protect me the way I needed and the way I was supposed to be loved and protected. I forgive all the injustices you committed against me. I forgive you for not being able to see the treasures in me. I release you from your debt of owing me anything in return. I hold nothing against you. I choose to bless you and not curse you. I release you completely to Jesus. You are free to go. My heavenly Father will meet every need that I have."
I encourage you to speak this out loud, releasing as many people as you need to forgive.Then take a deep breath and celebrate what’s just happened, because ultimately, you’ve just released yourself !
