Prayer for Forgiveness
Forgiveness is not just a divine command — it’s a gift of peace and freedom. Whether you are seeking God’s forgiveness or struggling to forgive others, this prayer is for you. The weight of guilt, shame, or hurt can burden our hearts, but God’s mercy is always greater. Come as you are. Speak honestly. God is listening.
A Heartfelt Prayer for Forgiveness
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a heavy heart, knowing I have fallen short. I confess my sins to You, both known and unknown, and ask for Your mercy. Wash me clean, Lord. Remind me that I am loved not because I am perfect, but because You are. Help me to forgive myself and others, just as You have forgiven me.
Let Your grace fill the broken places in me. Restore what shame has stolen. Let me live not in guilt, but in the joy of Your redemption. Thank You, Jesus, for the cross — for paying the price I could never pay. In You, I am made new. Amen.

Reflect
What are you holding onto that God wants you to release today? Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is always freeing. Trust that He is with you in the process — and healing will follow.
