I can’t remember where I got this prayer to give credit, but nonetheless, I wanted to share it with you. Forgiving someone does not mean what they did was right, but it helps you have peace. I have read some amazing stories of people forgiving people from the past and then money coming to them, healing or other great things.
Forgiveness: what we wish for others we wish for ourselves since we are all connected.
Technique of forgiveness:
Sit quietly and quiet your mind and think of God’s love for you and then affirm:
I fully and freely forgive ___________. I release him/her mentally and spiritually. I completely forgive everything with the matter in question. I am free and he/she is free. It is a marvelous feeling. It is my day of general amnesty. I release anybody and everybody who has ever hurt me and I wish for everyone health, happiness, peace, and all the blessings of life.
I do this freely, joyously, and lovingly. And whenever I think of the person or persons who hurt me, I say, I have released you and all the blessings of life are yours. I am free and you are free. It is wonderful.
(Once you have forgiven the person, when they come to your mind or the incident comes to your mind, wish them well and say peace be with you).
The acid test: If you have truly forgiven is if you would hear something great about that person, would you be resentful or truly happy for them.
