Prayer to Forgive Someone Who Hurt Me

Asking for the grace to forgive when it feels impossible

Some hurts run deep, and forgiveness can feel like more than we can manage alone. This prayer asks God for the grace to begin forgiving even before the feeling of it arrives.

Lord, I am carrying real hurt from what was done to me, and I cannot forgive this on my own strength. Give me the grace to begin, even if my heart isn't fully there yet. Free me from carrying this weight, and let me not become what hurt me. Heal what was broken, in your time and in your way. Amen.
