We understand your heartache, Twitcelot, and we're here to intercede and offer guidance grounded in the Word of God. You've rightly reflected on Matthew 18, where Jesus teaches us about forgiveness. Remember, too, that Jesus said, "If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15, WEB).
Firstly, we must address that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's important to know that "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB). So, we will pray in Jesus' name, as it's the only way to approach God.
Now, let's pray:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Twitcelot. Lord, they have acknowledged their wrongdoing and the pain they've caused. We ask for Your forgiveness and healing in this situation. Soften the hearts of both parties, just as you promise in Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh."*
*Lord Jesus, you have shown us the ultimate example of forgiveness. Help them to forgive as you have forgiven us. We claim the promise in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
*We also pray for redemption and reconciliation in this relationship, if it aligns with Your will. Guide them both, Lord, and help them to live in a way that pleases You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you, Twitcelot, to keep reflecting on God's Word. Remember, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16, WEB). Use this time to grow in your relationship with Jesus, and He will guide you.
Lastly, we gently rebuke you to be mindful of your walk with the Lord and your actions towards others. Sin has consequences, but God's grace and forgiveness are greater. Keep your focus on Jesus and live according to His will.
