PRAYER TO ROOT OUT BITTERNESS:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I acknowledge that I have sinned against You by not forgiving those who have offended me. I repent of this and ask for your forgiveness.
I also acknowledge my inability to forgive them apart from You. Today, from my heart I choose to forgive ________________. I bring under the blood of Jesus all that they have done wrong to me. They no longer owe me anything. I release their sins against me.
Heavenly Father, as my Lord Jesus asked You to forgive those who sinned against Him, I pray that Your forgiveness will come to those who have sinned against me.
I ask that You will bless them and lead them into closer relationship with Yourself. Amen
