DAY 3: FORGIVENESS

Prayer Topic: Seek forgiveness for your sins and pray for the ability to forgive others.

Devotional: Forgiveness is a powerful act of love and grace. In Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV), Jesus teaches, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Forgiveness isn't always easy, but it releases us from the chains of bitterness and resentment.

As we fast, let's seek forgiveness for our own sins and pray for the ability to forgive those who have wronged us. Remember that forgiveness is not condoning wrongdoing; it's choosing to release the burden of unforgiveness.

Quote: "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." – Lewis B. Smedes

Reflection 1: Reflect on any grudges or unresolved conflicts in your life. How can forgiveness bring freedom and healing in those situations?

Reflection 2: Consider the depth of God's forgiveness toward you. How can His forgiveness inspire your willingness to forgive others?
