Prayer to Forgive Sins

Heavenly Father,

I come before You today, acknowledging my own sins and asking for Your forgiveness. I confess that I have not always lived according to Your will and have fallen short of Your glory. I am truly sorry for the ways in which I have hurt You and others, and I ask for Your grace and mercy to cleanse me of my sins.

I also come to You today, asking for the strength and wisdom to forgive those who have sinned against me. I know that You have forgiven me, and I want to follow Your example of love and grace toward others. According to Your word in Ephesians 4:32, I pray that You would give me the same love and forgiveness that You have given me, so that I may extend that love and forgiveness to those who have wronged me.

Lord, I know that forgiveness is not always easy, but I trust in Your power to help me forgive as You have forgiven me. Give me the courage to let go of the past and move forward in forgiveness and love.

I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
