Prayers for Forgiveness
How often should you pray for forgiveness? Is praying for forgiveness really effective?
There are times when we don’t want to forgive someone who has hurt us or done something wrong. We might even try to convince ourselves that they deserve our anger. But is prayer really helpful?
When we ask God to forgive us, we are asking Him to remove our sins from His heart. This means He no longer sees them as bad things. If we truly believe that God forgives us, then we shouldn’t worry about whether or not we’ve sinned against Him. Instead, we should focus on repenting of those sins.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Forgiveness Verses from the Bible:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23-24
“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matthew 5:44-45
“You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” James 4:4
