We understand your struggle, Haftgal, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Forgiveness is a powerful act that reflects the heart of God, and it's important to ensure that your motives align with His will.
Firstly, let's consider what the Scriptures say about forgiveness:
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15 WEB)
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32 WEB)
Forgiveness is not about condoning the wrongs done to you, but about releasing the burden of resentment and bitterness, and allowing God to bring healing and restoration. It's important to forgive as you have been forgiven by God.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Haftgal. You know the pain and hurt they have experienced, Lord. We ask that You help Haftgal to forgive those who have wronged them, not out of selfish motives, but with a heart that reflects Your love and mercy. Guide their heart, Lord, and help them to release any bitterness or resentment. Bring healing and restoration, in Jesus' name. Amen."
Haftgal, as you seek to forgive, remember that your motives should be rooted in love and obedience to God's word. It's not about what others deserve, but about reflecting the heart of God, who forgave you through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. If you find it difficult, keep praying and asking God to help you. He is faithful and will strengthen you.
Also, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written:
"In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him." (Ephesians 3:12 WEB)
"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)
We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and through Him, you can have eternal life and a personal relationship with God.
