Day 5 - Forgive and be Forgiven

5/21 Days of Prayer

“FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS”

God has offered us complete forgiveness. His forgiveness is available to receive at any time. When we turn away from our sins and receive His forgiveness our hearts are more prepared to forgive others as well.

1 JOHN 1:9 (NIV)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness

Ask God to check your heart and show you areas where you might need to ask for forgiveness from Him. After you receive forgiveness, it’s your turn to forgive those who have offended you. We can even choose to forgive people in advance. Ask God to forgive you and to help you forgive others.

PRAYER:

“God, thank You so much for offering me the gift of forgiveness. Show me any areas in my life that I need to bring before You in order to receive forgiveness and healing. I confess that I have been struggling with sin (talk to God about any areas of sin in your life), and I know that You want me to be clean again. Please forgive me for my sin. Thank You for showing me unfailing grace. As You have so freely forgiven me, I also want to freely forgive others. Help me let go of the things that have offended me, and help me to acknowledge when I have offended others. I release to You those who have hurt me, and I trust You to handle those situations according to Your perfect will.”
