If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 JOHN 1:9

Unforgiveness can be the source of a great deal of conflict and stress in your personal relationships. Therefore, examine your heart now to see if you need to forgive anyone.

Do you secretly hope that someone will get what he or she deserves? Do you talk negatively about anyone to others? Do you indulge in fantasies of revenge—even seemingly harmless ones? Do you spend time mulling over what others have done to you? How do you feel when something good happens to a person who has wronged you? Do you blame anyone for how your life has turned out? Do you find it difficult to be open and trusting with people? Are you frequently angry, depressed, or bitter? Do you find it difficult to thank God for anything that’s happened in your life?

If any of these is true of you, you may be harboring resentment. Let the Lord examine your heart. Does He find any unforgiveness there? If so, confess it immediately and allow Him to heal you fully.

Lord, help me forgive wholeheartedly, just as You have forgiven me, amen.

In His presence . . . confess any unforgiveness.
