FOR FORGIVENESS

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Matthew 6:14-15 - For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Psalm 32:1-2 - Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity.
Acts 2:38 - And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
James 5:16 - Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working
Proverbs 28:13 - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

Recognise your need to forgive.
Submit to God—to His word and what it teaches; to His Spirit as it pleads with you.
Make the right decision.
Affirm it verbally and if you’re rather weak and shaky, find a witness — somebody that will actually hear you make that statement.
Consider some of the results that flow from forgiveness:
- Reconciliation
- Peace
- Harmony
- Understanding
- Fellowship

Thank You, Jesus, for dying on the cross for me. I admit my own need for forgiveness, and I proclaim that Jesus was punished that I might be forgiven. Amen.
Lord, I acknowledge my need of your forgiveness. I believe you are willing to forgive me for Christ’s sake. But I also acknowledge that I need to forgive others. And so by a decision of my will I forgive [name]. I now forgive as I would have you to forgive me. Trusting in Your grace and faithfulness I now affirm that I have forgiven others and you have forgiven me. Thank you, Lord.
