A Prayer to Forgive When You Cannot Forget

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” - Matthew 26:28 NIV

Updated May 07, 2024

The idea of forgiveness is something we are introduced to early in our relationship with Jesus. We discover how God offers forgiveness for our sins through the shed blood of his only son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. We also learn through Jesus’ sacrifice that because God forgives us, we can, in turn, forgive others. In teaching his disciples how to pray, Jesus himself said, “And forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.” (Matthew 6:12 NLT)
