Lord God, I seek your strength
to forgive those who have wronged me.
As difficult as it may be
I choose to release resentment and anger
following your example of unconditional love and forgiveness.
Bless my heart with empathy and understanding
for those who have hurt me
Grant me the peace that comes from forgiveness
and guide me in your path of grace and reconciliation
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
