FORGIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS
1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Isaiah 43:25 – “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.”
Micah 7:19 – “He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea.”
Romans 8:1 – “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
INTRODUCTION
One of the greatest gifts God gives to His children is the gift of forgiveness. Without forgiveness, none of us could stand before Him. The Bible says, “If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?” Yet, because of His mercy, we are not consumed.
Sin does more than break rules; it affects relationship. It distances us from intimacy with God. It weakens our spiritual sensitivity. It can block our joy, peace, and confidence in prayer. That is why forgiveness is not something we should treat lightly. It is the doorway back into fellowship.
When we pray for forgiveness, it must be sincere. True repentance is not just feeling sorry; it is turning away. It is saying, “Lord, I acknowledge my wrong, and I choose a new path.” God does not reject a broken and contrite heart. He welcomes it.
As you pray these prayers now, ask the Lord to search you. Let Him reveal your hidden attitudes, secret struggles, or silent compromises. Bring everything into the light to Him and let Him alone forgive you. There is no shame in confession, because where sin is confessed, mercy is released.
And once you have prayed, rise up in confidence. Do not walk as someone condemned or a person who’s still guilty of his sin. Believe that Jesus Christ has set you free. Once you are forgiven, you are forgiven. He says, He will remember your sin no more.

CONCLUSION
Forgiveness is the bridge that brings us back to God. No matter how far you may have drifted away from God, His mercy is still available to draw you closer to Him. There is no sin too deep that His grace cannot reach, and no mistake too great that His blood cannot cleanse.
Do not allow guilt to keep you distant from the One who is calling you closer. When you confess sincerely, God forgives completely. He does not forgive halfway. He restores fully. Today is not a day for condemnation, it is a day for renewal. Let go of the past. Receive His mercy. Walk in the confidence of a forgiven child of God. Your failure is not your final identity. Grace has the final word.
A Word from the Lord
The Lord says, “My mercy is greater than your mistakes. Do not allow the weight of yesterday to steal the joy of today. I have seen your tears, and I have heard your cry for forgiveness. I am not looking to condemn you. I am ready to cleanse you. When you come to Me with a sincere heart, I wash you completely. I do not hold your past against you when you truly repent.
Do not live under guilt when I have given you grace. Do not carry shame when I have offered you restoration. I am restoring your confidence before Me. I am renewing your strength. I am drawing you closer to Me, not pushing you away.
Walk in the freedom of forgiveness. Stand in the assurance of My love. I have forgiven you, now rise and move forward.” In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
