Like I said in the last post, there is not a formula for forgiveness. This prayer can be used to soften your heart to be willing to forgive. Repeat it. Slowly morph it into specifics. View it as a suggestion, not an answer.
Jesus, I am here today because I want to be obedient. I know that when You tell me to forgive, it is for my benefit. I want to get to a place that I feel ready to begin the journey. I am struggling to take my first step to forgive _______ for _______. Their words/actions have caused hurt/disappointment/sadness/anger in me. I am asking You to soften my heart. I am inviting You to lead me in this process. Thank You for comfort in every difficult situation. Thank You that You have already forgiven me, even as I struggle to forgive. You are good and good to me.
~Amen
