Gracious Father, who is understanding and kind to us, grant us hearts that are likewise forgiving of others, that we would not be bound to past hurts but willing to release ourselves and others to let old wounds heal, through Jesus our brother, who loved us to the end and now reigns with you and the Holy Spirit forever in joy and glory. Amen.
“And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.” – Luke 11:4
