Father, I forgive everyone who has trespassed against me so that You can forgive me my trespasses. [Now, having received the Holy Spirit and being led and directed by Him], if I forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if I retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.
Father, Your Word says, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matt. 5:44 AMP).
I come before you in Jesus’ name to lift __________ before You. I invoke blessings upon him/her and pray for his/her happiness. I implore Your blessings (favor) upon him/her.
Father, not only will I pray for _________, but I set myself to treat him/her well (do good to, act nobly toward him/her). I will be merciful, sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate toward ________, even as You are, Father.
My desire is to be an imitator of You, and I can do all things through Christ Jesus Who strengthens me.
Father, I thank You that I have great peace in this situation, for I love Your law and refuse to take offense toward __________.
Jesus, I am blessed—happy [with life—joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation apart from outward conditions] and to be envied—because I take no offense in You and refuse to be hurt or resentful or annoyed or repelled or made to stumble, [whatever may occur].
And now, Father, I roll this work upon You—commit and trust it wholly to You; and I believe that You will cause my thoughts to become in agreement to Your will, and so my plans shall be established and succeed.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
