Prayer To Forgive Yourself - Stop Living In Regret

For a variety of reasons, it might be difficult for us to forgive ourselves. Some of us experienced harsh punishment for failing as children. As a result, we are not used to the concept of forgiveness. We can fear forgiving ourselves because we perceive God to be vindictive and furious. Alternatively, we may not feel deserving of forgiveness as a result of neglect or abuse throughout childhood. The following prayer can help us forgive ourselves according to what God's Word says, not what we tell ourselves.

Dear Jesus,
I've kept you out of my life for far too long. I am aware of my sinfulness and my need for salvation. I won't shut the door when I hear You knocking anymore. I humbly accept Your gift of salvation via faith. I'm willing to put my faith in you as my Lord and Savior. Lord Jesus, I appreciate You coming to Earth. I firmly believe that You are the divine Son who bore the punishment for my crimes on the cross and then rose again the following day. I'm grateful that You took on my sins and gave me the gift of eternal life. I think what You said is accurate. Lord Jesus, enter my heart and become my Savior.
Amen.
Father,
Today I ask forgiveness for all the unkind and hurtful things I have said about myself in the past. I don't want to hurt myself like that ever again. Transform my perspectives so that I can see how wonderfully you created me. Change your behavior so you speak words of hope and favor over your life.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Please, Lord
I sincerely seek your assistance in forgiving me as I come before you now. I have spent much too much time reflecting on my history. And I'm sick of always feeling like I could have done better. To be really honest, a part of me knows that this way of thinking is correct. Though I wish I could have changed my decisions, I am powerless to do so. I currently only have power over my future. Life cannot be reversed for me. Lord, I entrust you with all of my anxietyright now. You did not intend for me to despise myself for what I have done. Lord, when I despise who I am, I despise what you created. I must be aware that is sinful.
I pray for other people who are having trouble forgiving themselves in addition to myself. You can feel so uneasy as a result of unforgiveness. Help them to forgive themselves for their flaws.
Help us to recognize that imperfection is a significant part of our earthly nature, Lord, as you cleanse and purify our hearts from unforgiveness. Help us recognize our shortcomings and believe in your love for us despite them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
