Blog EntryLetting Go Of Bitterness (Prayer Of Forgiveness)Jul 18, '08 1:02 PM
for everyone

Prayer

Father, life seems so unjust, so unfair. The pain of rejection is almost more than I can bear. My past relationships have ended in strife, anger, rejection, and separation.

Lord, help me to let go of all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity).

You are the One Who binds up and heals the broken-hearted. I receive Your anointing that destroys every yoke of bondage. I receive emotional healing by faith, and I thank You for giving me the grace to stand firm until the process is complete.

Thank You for wise counselors. I acknowledge the Holy Spirit as my wonderful Counselor. Thank You for helping me work out my salvation with fear and trembling, for it is You, Father, Who works in me to will and to act according to Your good purpose.

In the name of Jesus, I choose to forgive those who have wronged me. I purpose to live a life of forgiveness because You have forgiven me. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. I desire to be kind and compassionate to others, forgiving them, just as in Christ You forgave me.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, I make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy, for I know that without holiness no one will see You, Lord. I purpose to see to it that I do not miss Your grace and that no bitter root grows up within me to cause trouble.

I will watch and pray that I enter not into temptation or cause others to stumble.

Thank You, Father, that You watch over Your Word to perform it and that whom the Son has set free is free indeed. I declare that I have overcome resentment and bitterness by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony.

In Jesus' name, amen.

This is something I'm working on.

I've been through a lot and now I feel God is calling me to forgive those who have mistreated me. It's not easy to do. Especially when you feel betrayed but I know I have to do it because I don't want anger to hold me back from doing what God wants me to do.

This is one of the most difficult lessons that we all face in life. When we begin to learn that there is nothing to forgive then we are on the path of life. Those who have "wronged" us have "taught" us but we keep missing the lessons. Our enemies are our friends because they force us into our uncomfortable zones.

If we can stop blaming those who have wronged us, and instead start looking at how they have taught us our sins, then we can begin to awaken from our sleep. "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." The debt is ours, not theirs. People are simply mirrors to show us our wrong that is so deep that we can't see it.

Be Blessed,
Mark
