Forgiveness

Recently, others have severely hurt me, and it's been so overwhelmingly painful and unbearable. I have cried so much that I think I'm done crying, but then I'll start crying again because it was so traumatic and cruel.  Jesus said to forgive others, just as I have been forgiven (Matthew 6:12-14, Eph. 4:32). He also warned that if I don't forgive others, then God the Father in Heaven will not forgive me (Matthew 6:15). So, dear Lord, please help me to forgive them, because it has been such a difficult struggle for me. Please heal my wounds and my broken heart Lord. Thank You Lord for Your comfort, Your strength, and Your peace. 

Lord, I also ask you to forgive me for what I have said and/or done to cause hurt feelings, anxiety, and misunderstandings. I pray for relationships to be restored. I pray for them to be healed and comforted. Please show them Your love, Your peace, and Your comfort that only You can give them. I pray that one day maybe they will find it in their heart to forgive me. Please hold them in Your arms and show them Your presence and Your loving kindness. Thank you Lord for your healing touch. Amen.
