They Told You Forgiveness Was About Them (But God Says It Sets YOU Free)

Have you been told that forgiveness means letting someone else off the hook? That it’s about excusing what they did, or pretending it didn’t hurt? What if that’s not what God says at all?
In this deeply moving prayer, we invite you into a life-changing moment with God—where you'll discover the freedom, healing, and restoration that come from clinging to His Word and obeying His call to forgive.
Whether you're battling pain from betrayal, struggling to let go of resentment, or wrestling with guilt from your past, this prayer will guide you through the truth of God's promises. You'll learn how obedience to God's command to forgive isn't about weakness—it's the doorway to peace and spiritual freedom.
You’ll be reminded of powerful stories—like Joseph who forgave his brothers, and Peter who was restored after denying Christ. You’ll hear the very words of Jesus from the cross, praying for those who hurt Him, and realize that same power now lives in you.
Let this prayer wash over your soul. Lay down the burdens you were never meant to carry. And step into the forgiveness that brings freedom—not for them, but for YOU.
🙌 Be prepared to experience peace.
🔥 Be ready to let go.
💡 Be open to transformation.
Because when we obey God—even when it’s hard—He shows up with healing that only Heaven can offer.
