Scripture: “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins.” Mark 11:25

Prayer: Heavenly Father, forgive us of oursins, individually and corporately – the known and unknown. Because of Jesus, we know that when we ask for Your forgiveness that we are forgiven. Give us a heart that can truly give and receive forgiveness. Today, we choose to forgive those who have hurt us as You have forgiven us. Help us to forgive ourselves for any mistakes and bad choices that we have made. By Your grace we ask that You remove the weight of any burden of unforgiveness as we continue to seek your truth about forgiveness in Your Word. Guide our lives and help to live a life pleasing to You. We pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Decree: We decree that our hearts and spirits are full of God’s grace and love so that forgiveness becomes easy for us to do daily.
