Lord, Teach Me to Forgive Like You Forgave Me | Morning Prayer

📖 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32
✨ Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in Scripture. When we are deeply wounded, our instinct is to hold onto bitterness, thinking it protects us. But unforgiveness is a poison we drink, and it only imprisons us, chaining us to the past. God’s way is different. He calls us to forgive, not because our offenders deserve it, but because we have been forgiven an immeasurable debt through Christ.
In this powerful morning prayer, we stop trying to forgive in our own strength. We explore the profound difference between our tiny debts and the ocean of grace we received (Matthew 18) .
✅ Unforgiveness is a chain that imprisons us, not the person who hurt us.
✅ We forgive because God first forgave us.
✅ Forgiveness is a choice of the will, not an emotion.
✅ It is not forgetting, but releasing the person to God’s justice and freeing ourselves.
✅ We ask God for a supernatural miracle: to heal our memories and soften our stony hearts .
💡 Perhaps there is a face or a memory that still holds your heart captive today. Remember this truth: Forgiveness is not about excusing their sin; it is about freeing your soul.
Even when the wound is deep... Even when it feels unfair... Even when your heart is hard... God’s grace is sufficient to break the chain.
🙏 Join us in this prayer of release, asking the Lord for the supernatural strength to let go, and to walk in the profound freedom that only His forgiveness brings.
