Day 5: FORGIVE AND BE FORGIVEN


“FORGIVE OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS”

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

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. – 1 JOHN 1:9

Ask God to check your heart and life and show you areas where you might need to ask for forgiveness from Him. Then, it is 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 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. Please help me let go of all of my offenses. I release to You those who have hurt me, and I trust You to handle those situations according to Your perfect will.”
