After you have forgiven every person, pray as follows:
Lord Jesus, I choose not to hold on to my resentment. I relinquish my right to seek revenge and ask you to heal my damaged emotions. Thank you for setting me free from the bondage of bitterness. I now ask you to bless those who have hurt me.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
