Week 4&5 Day 7 Unforgiveness, a Prison of Our Own Making
Training
Reflect in your journal.
This week we’ve excavated some painful wounds. Who is Christ asking you to forgive?
The deeper the wound the more extensive the work of forgiveness. You may be able to simply release that person to Christ or you may need the support and prayers of your group or a trusted friend. Some of us have been so deeply wounded that we need the aid of a skilled therapist. On this continuum where do you fall? Can you forgive that person right now? Maybe try now?
Pray: “Jesus as you have forgiven me “I now forgive _______ the wounds may still be there and the pain may take time for you to heal but I choose to forgive them and will continue to choose whenever I feel that pain or the urge to make them pay.”
If you are unable to forgive right now do at least one of the following:
Text your group or trusted friend to set up a time to meet and enlist their help.
Call your therapist to ask for help or call and schedule a first appointment with a counselor. Here is a list of counselors which people from our church have found helpful: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cSaBFFPRFSYWjAy3JI1eSK51erFO4e9WZ1MxkRPM6Hg/edit
Pray: “Jesus I want to want what you want. What you want is for me to forgive this person. Please show me the riches of your love and forgiveness for me. Help me cultivate and strengthen my desire to do your will.” Bring this to Christ every day until you find freedom.
