Prayer to God for Forgiveness of Sins

Even while I encourage you to pray this prayer, I caution you that saying words alone will not save you. Prayer doesn’t save. Only Christ can save. But prayer can be a means of reaching out to the Lord in true saving faith. If you pray these words in faith, Christ will save you. You can be sure of that.

Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true.

If you have prayed this prayer in sincere faith, you may want to put your initials by the prayer along with today’s date as a reminder that you have come to Christ in faith, trusting him as your Lord and Savior.

Prayer for Forgiving  Others

Dear Merciful Lord,
Thank you for your gift of forgiveness. Your only Son loved me enough to come to earth and experience the worst pain imaginable so I could be forgiven.

Your mercy flows to me in spite of my faults and failures. Your Word says to “clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” (Col.

3:14) Help me demonstrate unconditional love today, even to those who hurt me. 

I understand that even though I feel scarred, my emotions don’t have to control my actions. Father, may Your sweet words saturate my mind and direct my thoughts.

Help me release the hurt and begin to love as Jesus loves. I want to see my offender through my Savior’s eyes. If I can be forgiven, so can he. I understand there are no levels to your love.

We are all your children, and your desire is that none of us should perish.

You teach us to “let the peace that comes from Christ rule in our hearts.” (Col. 3:15) When I forgive in words, allow your Holy Spirit to fill my heart with peace. I pray this peace that only comes from Jesus will rule in my heart, keeping out doubt and questions. And above all, I am thankful.

Not just today, not just this week, but always. Thank you for the reminder, “Always be thankful.” (Col. 3:15) With gratitude I can draw closer to you and let go of unforgiveness. With gratitude I can see the person who caused my pain as a child of the Most High God. Loved and accepted.

Help me find the compassion that comes with true forgiveness.

And when I see the person who hurt me, bring this prayer back to my remembrance, so I can take any ungodly thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5) And may the confidence of Christ in my heart guide me into the freedom of forgiveness. I praise you for the work you are doing in my life, teaching and perfecting my faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
– Kristine Brown

Short Prayer to Forgive Others

Dear Lord, I thank You for the power of forgiveness, and I choose to forgive everyone who has hurt me. Help me set [name anyone who has offended you] free and release them to You [Romans 12:19].

Help me bless those who have hurt me [Romans 12:14]. Help me walk in righteousness, peace, and joy, demonstrating Your life here on earth. I choose to be kind and compassionate, forgiving others, just as You forgave me [Ephesians 4:32].

In Jesus’ name, amen.
– Debbie Przybylski

Short Prayer to Forgive Yourself

Father, today I ask forgiveness of all the negative and harmful words I have spoken about myself. I do not want to abuse myself in such a way again. Transform my thoughts and let me understand how marvelously you made me. Change my habits so I use my tongue to speak hope and favor upon my life. In Jesus' name. 
– Sarah Coleman

Prayer of Hope Using the Star Spangled Banner During Life Problems

When you need a prayer for hope, The Star Spangled Banner can be a powerful way to help you pray.   Fear and hopelessness can hit you hard, especially at night.  When one of our sons was going through a very hard time, I used the Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key as a way of remembering to stop and say a prayer of hope when things seemed dark and I most needed it.

 Start your prayer of hope by singing the words of the Star Spangled Banner

If you’re around people and can’t sing out loud, mentally sing the words.  Combining the words with a melody and/or the physical act of singing them out loud causes your prayer of hope and for hope to be better imprinted in your mind.  This also increases your sense of emotional well being because the song usually connects us to times when we were feeling a strong sense of community.

Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? 

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave  O‘er the land of the free and the home of the brave ?

Meditate on the song and claim Scripture as a prayer of hope as you repeat each stanza

Here is a way to use the Star Spangled as a prayer of hope: 

Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light

Father, help me to believe that the first gleam of morning will come after a long night of fear.  I now speak courage, hope and encouragement to my battered soul, because morning never fails to come again, even when things seem darkest.

I claim God’s promise: “My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.” (Psalm 120:6, NIV)  “Weeping may remain for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5 NIV)

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming

Before this problem came upon me and before this battle with darkness and fear broke out in my life, it was so much easier to feel confident that I wouldn’t be defeated.  It was much easier to feel strong and optimistic.

I claim God’s promise: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”  (Isaiah 41:10 NIV)

 Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? 

Please help me remember the times in the past when terrible things happened you were at work.  Help me see progress being made.  Help me feel the growth within my soul as I draw closer to you.  Make me confident again that that with your help I can stand firm and hold my ground.  Help my heart to vividly sense that you were here with me.

I claim God’s promise: “On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.”  Psalm 6 3:6 NIV)  “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.”  (Psalm 77:11 NIV)

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there…

There are times during the dark night when I was under such awful attack that I was sure all was lost.  Let me view those frightening attacks as ways you opened my eyes to my need for you.  May these  attacks help me seek you and see that you were still there during the terrible night.

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, O‘er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Dear Lord, You are the one who brought me through the night to the morning light.  Your protection is always over me.  Because I trust in you, you have freed my spirit form sorrow and despair so that I might live in joyful peace and hope.  I sing now a new song of victory.  Keep me brave through every dark night in my life now and forever.

I claim God’s promise:  “May he give you the desire of your heart and make your plans succeed.  We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.  May the Lord grant your requests.

  Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers them from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.  Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

  They are brought to their knees and fall, but we will rise up and stand firm.”   (Psalm 20:4-8 NIV)

Amen.

The story behind this prayer prayer of hope

When one of our sons was going through a very tough time in life, I found it hard to pray.  Many times I would lie awake at night with hundreds of worries and fears going through my head.  As time went on and his situation didn’t improve, I became oppressed and hopeless.

One dark January morning as I was walking in the neighborhood I saw an American flag under a floodlight on a house waving in the wind.  I stopped and the phrase “By the dawn’s early light…” came into my mind.  As I continued to walk, I realized that our National Anthem is a song of hope.

Over the next few months whenever I saw an American flag, I used it as an opportunity to thank God for his nearness in my times of struggle to keep hope alive.  This helped me through a very difficult time and I hope it will help you, too.

Together, Opening Paths of Hope

At the beginning of September 2016, a stage in the pilgrimage of trust brought together 7500 young Africans in Cotonou, Benin. (1) The theme of this gathering will continue to inspire us throughout the year 2017: together—not alone, but supported by one another—we can open paths of hope—in ourselves, around us and for the human family.

One of the questions asked at Cotonou was this: “To nourish our hope, how can we leave behind a passive attitude where we are content to wait for change from the outside? What forms of commitment are within everyone’s reach?”

It is urgent for those from other continents to listen to the many Africans who aspire to greater justice in political and economic relations: that is one of the conditions for them to realistically envisage building a future in their own countries.

In order to prepare their future, more and more young people in Africa want to make use of the great creative potential that is in them. They will then be able to awaken the courage of young people in other parts of the world who are experiencing similar situations.

In order to continue, at Taizé and elsewhere, the reflection begun in Cotonou, here are four proposals that will lead us to open paths of hope.

We will try to find ways of discovering how to put these proposals into practice with simplicity, one of the three realities—together with joy and mercy—that Brother Roger wanted to set at the heart of the life of the Taizé Community.

(1) After Johannesburg (1995), Nairobi (2008) and Kigali (2012), this fourth African stage of the pilgrimage of trust on earth was organized in Cotonou, Benin, from August 31 to September 4, at the invitation of the Catholic and Methodist Churches of the country. In addition to those from Benin itself, the 7500 participants came mainly from Togo (800), Nigeria (550), Ghana (100), Burkina Faso (160) and Ivory Coast (50). Twenty African countries were represented in all, and there were also sixty Europeans present from fifteen different countries. The French, English and Fon languages were used in the workshops and forums, and the liturgy also included songs in Yoruba and Mina.

First proposal: Stand firm in hope: it is creativity

Hoping against all hope, Abraham believed and so became the father of many nations. (Romans 4:18)This hope is an anchor for our soul. It is firm and secure. (Hebrews 6:19)Anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God a little child will never enter it.

(Luke 18:17)

In the instability of today’s world, we are disconcerted by violence, suffering and injustices. All creation is groaning, as if it were undergoing the pain of childbirth.

The Holy Spirit is also groaning, yet this same Spirit is the support of our hope (see Romans 8:22,26). So what can we do?

Faith is a simple trust in God. It does not offer ready-made answers, but makes it possible for us not to be paralyzed by fear or discouragement. It leads us to get involved, and sets us on the road. Through it we realize that the Gospel opens a vast horizon of hope beyond all our hopes.

This hope is not a facile optimism that shuts its eyes to reality, but an anchor cast into God. It is creativity. Signs of it are already found in the most unhoped-for places on earth.

• Will we dare to believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and in the world? Can we rely on this presence, even if it is invisible?

• May our faith remain simple, the trust of children! This does not mean watering down the content of the faith, but holding fast to what is at its centre—God’s love for humanity and for all creation. The Bible tells the story of this, from the freshness of its beginnings through all obstacles, and even human unfaithfulness. God never tires of loving: may this message keep hope alive in us!

• To allow ourselves and those close to us to be permeated by this message, we need to come together more often to pray. The simple beauty of prayer reflects something of the mystery of God and can lead to a personal encounter with God.

Second proposal: Simplify our lives in order to share

Jesus said: I am gentle and humble in heart. (Matthew 11:29)You have received freely; give freely. (Matthew 10:8)Jesus said to a rich young man: Go, sell your possessions and give to the poor…. Then come, follow me.

(Matthew 19:21)

Acquisitiveness—the race for money and success—leads to injustice and frustrations. A spirit of sharing, which the Gospel invites us to develop, is one of the paths of hope that we need to open today.

Choosing a simple life is a source of freedom and joy. Then life becomes less burdensome. Simplicity implies transparency of heart. Although it is not gullible, it refuses to mistrust. It is the opposite of duplicity. It enables us to enter into dialogue, without fear, with everyone we meet. Jesus’ life is an example of this.

• As far as material things are concerned, let us strive continually to lead a simpler life. This will inspire in us acts of sharing in the face of human suffering, humiliating poverty, the trials of migrants, or conflicts across the world.

• Let us find ways to support one another in realizing courageous signs of hope in our neighbourhoods, in the places where we work or study, by means of social or environmental commitments.

• How can we live in greater harmony with creation through a simple and uncluttered lifestyle, contributing in this way to the struggle against ecological disasters and global warming? This fight is not only for the leaders of nations; everyone can, for example, consume more local products, use public transport more…

• Can this question remain alive in our hearts: am I ready to follow Christ, the One who is gentle and humble of heart, choosing to belong to him forever in the simplicity of a yes, in a spirit of generosity?

Third proposal: Come together to allow the dynamism of the Gospel to be revealed

Every day the first believers continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. (Acts 2:46)There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord.

(1 Corinthians 12:4–5)Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

(Hebrews 13:2)

The Bible tells the story of two men, Peter and Cornelius, who were deeply opposed on all counts, but who met one another and in so doing discovered a truth previously unknown to either of them.

They needed to be together in order to understand that the Holy Spirit brings down walls and unites those who thought they were strangers. The dynamism of the Gospel is only revealed when we are together. (Read chapters 10 and 11 of the Acts of the Apostles.)

When Christians are divided, between denominations or within the same Church, the Gospel message is obscured. Will we be able to walk together without letting our differences separate us? If we, as Christians, find a way to show that unity is possible in our diversity, we will help all humanity to be a more united family.

• Christ unites in one community men and women, children and elderly people, of all horizons, languages and cultures, and even those from nations historically opposed. Let us find simple ways to show this in the places where we live.

• To remain alive, every community is called to go itself. Can we develop an attitude of hospitality, in the image of God, towards Christians who have positions very different from our own? Such openness of heart requires an effort of “translation,” since different beliefs and convictions can be languages foreign to one another.

• Even if the memory of mutual intolerance among Christians separated over the course of history remains alive and not all the threads can be untangled, will we dare to welcome each other anyway, by forgiving, and without trying to establish who was right or who was wrong? There is no reconciliation without sacrifice.

• Hospitality goes hand in hand with recognizing the otherness of others. When their beliefs remain incomprehensible to us, we can at least be attentive to their authenticity. There should be a festive element in the discovery of others!

Fourth proposal: Allow friendship to grow in order to prepare peace

Jesus is not ashamed to call us his brothers and sisters. (Hebrews 2:11)Jesus said: You have one Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters. And do not call anyone on earth “father,” for you have one Father, the one in heaven.

(Matthew 23:8–9) He also said: Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. (Matthew 12:50)People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.

(Luke 13:29)

Contributing to peace and to international justice is another path of hope that we can open today.

Peace on earth begins in the heart of each person. It is first of all our hearts that have to be changed, and this change involves a simple conversion—allowing God’s Spirit to dwell within us, welcoming a peace that will spread out and be communicated from one person to another. “Achieve inner peace and thousands around you will be saved.” (Seraphim of Sarov, a Russian monk, 1759–1833.)

• With our own lives let us write the new pages of a simple solidarity that goes beyond partitions and walls: physical walls constructed in different parts of the world as well as walls of ignorance, prejudice and ideology. Let us be open to other cultures and mentalities.

• We cannot allow the rejection of foreigners to enter our hearts, for the refusal of others is the seed of barbarism. Instead of seeing foreigners as a threat to our standard of living or our culture, can we welcome them as members of the same human family? Why not go to visit refugees, simply to get to know them and to listen to their stories? Then—who knows?—other steps of solidarity may follow.

• How can we get to know others who are different from us? And share with those who think differently, in a dialogue where we really listen to one another, without getting into arguments even before having understood the other person. Can we find ways of remaining present in places of division, and of building bridges? Let us pray for those whom we do not understand and who do not understand us.

• Signs of solidarity can be multiplied beyond the borders of religion. Meeting believers of other religions encourages us to deepen our knowledge of our own faith, while asking ourselves what God wants to tell us and to give us through these brothers and sisters who are so different from us.
