Day 7: Forgive and Be Forgiven
Scripture:
"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 (NIV)
Reflection:
Forgiveness is an essential part of prayer. When we ask God to forgive us, we also commit to forgiving others. It’s a two-way street—receiving and extending forgiveness.
Application:
“Father, thank You for Your forgiveness. Help me to forgive those who have hurt me, just as You have forgiven me. Search my heart and reveal any areas where I need Your healing.”

Reflection:
Forgiveness is an essential part of prayer. When we ask God to forgive us, we also commit to forgiving others. It’s a two-way street—receiving and extending forgiveness.
Application:
- Examine Your Heart: Ask God to show you any areas where you may need to ask for forgiveness or offer forgiveness to others.
- Let Go of Grudges and offenses.: Choose to forgive even before the other person asks for it. Forgiveness is a gift we give, not just to others, but to ourselves. Releases things, do not live on offense.
