I pray that You would enable __________________ to live in ongoing forgiveness. I pray that they will forgive themselves for times of failure, and may they never blame You, Lord, for things that happen on this earth and in their lives. According to Your Word I pray that they will love their enemies, bless those who curse them, do good to those who use and persecute them, so that they may enjoy all Your blessings (Matthew 5:44-45). I pray that they will live in the fullness of Your forgiveness for them and walk in the freedom of forgiveness in their own hearts.

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32

"Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses." Mark 11:25

As I read through this prayer today, I looked at the comment about Not blaming the Lord. God really meant this since we were reading today about Job...incredible

my daughter is actually dealing with something right now where i've been praying that she can let go of the bitterness and hurt and forgive someone. it's hard to do when you feel wronged, but as i told her, she will feel the weight lifted if she can let go of it all.

Amen Amen Amen and Amen!! I do not want life to cause my kids to change!!! They are so quick to forgive and so honest now. I pray that never changes. I pray their hearts will stir them to do what is right, even when life seems hard or harsh.

Great prayer Leigh Ann!!
