Prayer to Forgive Others - Say this prayer when you are finding it difficult to forgive someone

Father, there are certain things
that have recently happened to me
that have been so painful
that I am finding it quite difficult to forgive others,
and yet I know that this is Your will for each one of Your children
knowing that forgiving others in our hearts
has a beautiful secondary function,
of opening up our hearts and lives
to Your warming love and perfect peace.

Lord I want to forgive others,
but there seems to be a sort of blockage
that is causing me to hold fast to my anger and hurt.
Please Father God,
in Your goodness and grace,
would You please help me to forgive fully, freely and forever
so that I may be released from this sharp pain of unforgiveness,
which seems to be holding my heart in an icy, iron grip.

Lord You have promised in Your word
that Your grace is sufficient for every trial and each difficulty in life
and I trust that this means that
Your grace is sufficient to bring me to that point of genuine and gracious forgiveness.
And so I cast this unforgiveness at Your feet
and pray that You would forgive me
for holding onto my unforgiving heart for so long
knowing that in Christ Jesus, You have forgiven me so much.
Thank You Lord for dying on the cross for me
and for forgiving all my sins
Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for me
in Jesus name I pray,

Amen.
