Here are just some of the ways you hurt yourself when you can’t forgive yourself:

• You keep reliving what you’ve done.
• You let it affect your decisions.
• You feel paralyzed by your past.
• You verbally abuse yourself, quietly in the recesses of your own heart.
• You make yourself feel unworthy.
• You are afraid to take healthy risks.
• You spiral into despair.
• You don’t try to make things better because you don’t think you deserve to make things better.
• You struggle to forgive others.
• You struggle to trust yourself.

Gracious God,

we ask for Your forgiveness
and receive it with joyful hearts.
Renew our minds
so that we may discern what is good.
Fill us with Your Spirit
so that we may be
Your witnesses in the world.
Comfort our hearts,
that we may know that we have
complete redemption by Your grace alone.
In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
