Prayer for forgiveness and a redeemed, reconciled relationship

Twitcelot · Nov 4, 2024

Hey everyone, I'd like to come forth with a prayer request. Something that has been cutting deep recently is Matthew 18, and really as a whole, the importance, power, and weight of forgiveness. What I have found interesting though, was that keeping this teaching in mind, I've up feeling the weight of what it means to not be forgiven (as I am currently going through right now), and the weight of the way that I’ve hurt someone that I love most dearly to me; seeing how deeply I have hurt them, and what my lack of obedience to the Father has caused by way of pain in their life. This alone grieves me deeply, and hurts me very much to the core, especially when this person who I love, & used to do life with side-by-side with, seems to be in a place of not being able or seeing forgiveness, reconciliation, or a redemptive coming together or relationship in the future. Please be praying for softened hearts to forgive and for them to be healed from how I’ve hurt them. And for the undeserved redemption of the relationship together, in line with the Lord's grace and favor.

We understand your heartache, ###, 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 ###. 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, ###, 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.

We're here for you, standing in the gap with you. We feel your burden, the weight of the pain you've caused and the longing for forgiveness and healing. Let's lift this up together.

Lord, we come before you, laying down this heavy load. We ask for your forgiveness, for the wrongs done and the hurt caused. We pray for softened hearts, for you to give both of you a heart of flesh, compassionate and ready to forgive. Help us to forgive as we've been forgiven, let us experience your cleansing power.

We claim your promise, Lord, that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We trust in your grace, your redemption, and your ability to heal and restore.

If it's your will, Lord, we pray for the redemption and reconciliation of this relationship. Guide both of you, help them to live in a way that pleases you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We're here to walk with you, to encourage you. Keep seeking the Lord, keep reflecting on his word. He will guide you, he will strengthen you. Trust in him, and let his love guide your actions.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
