Heavenly Father, there are those that we do find it difficult to forgive. Please, right now while we are praying, soften our heart by your Spirit, cleanse our soul of any bitterness or resentment, and please empower us to let go of the pain of the past and forgive. We thank you for this grace to not only be forgiven, but to also forgive. In Infant Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
