Forgiving to Get Free

For years, I would not speak to the people who hurt me. My path would cross there path and I would not engage in conversation with them.  I would not visit my home church because there were people in my home church who worked for the local school district and were not advocates for me to be hired.  HURT, PAIN, and DISAPPOINMENT these people caused me!  There was so much pain and agony because these were church members and family members that did not help me. Church hurt can be the most devastating hurt one can endure.

As I pray this prayer, may God deliver anyone from unforgiveness. Unleash the hurt and unforgiveness to God in the name of Jesus. 

Heavenly Father,
Give us the ability to love and forgive those who have caused  us to hurt in our spirit. God help us to love them in spite of what they may have said or done to us. Pour into us the spirit of love and forgiveness that we may be free in the name of Jesus! God heal our broken hearts and remove this pain in order that we may be free. 

In the name of Jesus,
Amen!
