Heavenly Father, it is I, your faithful servant, seeking your grace and reconciliation. I acknowledge that I have done things that caused separation from you and my fellow brethren. I am sincerely regretful of those actions.
Lord, I ask for your grace to see the wrongs I’ve done, the hurts I’ve caused, and the opportunities I’ve missed to show love. Let your Spirit guide me to sincere repentance, and give me the courage to ask for forgiveness from those I’ve wronged.
Holy Father, nurture a forgiving and generous heart within me. When I am wronged, give me the strength to forgive just as you forgive me. Let me imitate your love and mercy, quelling my grudges and nurturing unity.
Gracious God, let your peace permeate my relationships. Help me to be a vessel for reconciliation, creating harmony where there is strife. Where there is misunderstanding, let me bring understanding. Where there is resentment, let me bring forgiveness.
In Jesus’ name, I pray that you guide my steps towards a path of reconciliation and unity. Amen.
