15 Prayers For Forgiveness Of Sins And Repentance

Forgiving other people’s sins against you isn’t as easy as it sounds. But remember that as you come to God for forgiveness, you are not in the position to hold a grudge against your brothers and sisters, even if you are deeply hurt.

No matter the circumstances, remember that the Holy Spirit intercedes as you let God’s word work miracles in your life through these prayers for forgiveness.

Remember that God’s forgiveness is the only unconditional gift you’ll receive in your life here on earth (see the meaning of the number 333 for many things from God). As you incorporate these prayers into your prayer life, you also need to take action, for praying without the intent to transform is meaningless.

Prayer For The Forgiveness Of Others

Dear Merciful Lord,

As you have forgiven all our sins, allow us to be humble enough to forgive others for all the wrong acts they have committed against us. Let your sweet words saturate our hearts and change us so that all of us will forgive others the same way your only Son, Jesus Christ, forgave us our sins.

Give us the courage to reach out to others and show them the true saving faith and the truth that only you and your powerful words can bring us to eternal life and deliver us from the worst pain imaginable.

Grant compassion and healing among your people, dear Lord, and let peace, joy, and grace be our only reasons to do good as we struggle to face uncertain times. All this we pray for through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
