Prayer: Abba Father, bless me with the wonderful power of forgiveness. Give me the grace to unconditionally forgive those who have done me wrong. Give me the strength to let go of all ill-will, to forgive myself of my own failings and sins, knowing that you have already forgiven me.
Grant me Your favor wherever I go, so that if I have done wrong to my brother in the Lord, I may receive his forgiveness in return and freedom from emotional entrapment. My God and Lord, free me from all emotional entrapments: anger, bitterness, hate and unforgiveness. I love you, Lord.  You are faithful and just to forgive me of all my sins and purify me from all unrighteousness and unforgiveness. Now I declare that I forgive all those who have given me hurt and pain. Therefore, through the power of forgiveness, I release the past and I am healed. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen!
