A Confession of Forgiveness for the Believer

Father, in the name of Jesus, I made a fresh commitment to You to live in peace and harmony, not only with the other brothers and sisters of the body of Christ, but also with my friends, associates, neighbors and family.

I let go of all bitterness, resentment, envying, strife and unkindness in any form. I give no place to the devil in Jesus' name. Now Father, I ask Your forgiveness. By faith, I receive it, having assurance that I am cleaned from unrighteousness through Jesus Christ. I ask You to forgive and release all who wronged and hurt me. I forgive and release them. Deal with them in your mercy and loving-kindness.

Form this moment on, I purpose to walk in love, to seek peace, to live in agreement, and to conduce myself toward others in a manner that is pleasing to You. I know that I have right standing with You and Your ears are attentive to my prayers.

It is written in Your Word that the love of God has been shed abroad, poured forth into my heart by the Holy Ghost who is given to me. I believe that love flows forth into the lives of everyone I know that I may be with abound in the fruits of righteousness which bring glory and honor unto You, Lord, in Jesus' name. So be it!
