Today I choose to forgive [Name]. I forgive him for allowing himself to be led and controlled and used by the enemy to destroy me. I forgive him for ruthlessly pursuing me, for his selfishness, for his pride, for hurting me, for controlling and manipulating me, for all the wounds emotional and physical he knowingly and unknowingly inflicted upon me. I forgive him for enabling my unhealthy coping mechanisms and bad behavior. I forgive him for holding me captive and not letting me go physically and emotionally, for not looking out for my best interests or respecting my wishes.
Today I choose to forgive and cancel the debt [Name] owes me. He owes me nothing for God has paid [Name]'s debt through Jesus Christ. My redemption and salvation comes from God alone and does not depend on the frailty of man's apology. I may never receive an apology, but whether I do or whether I don't, either way I choose forgiveness. My own debt has been paid and so has [Name]'s. I release him from his debt to me through the power of Christ and thereby release myself from the chains that held me bound in anger, wrath, rage, malice, violence, hatred, and unforgiveness. I will walk in freedom and newness of life. From this point on when I see [Name] I will choose to see the face of Jesus and merciful forgiveness. I give [Name] over to God and relinquish my right to revenge. Justice will come from God. My vindication will come from God; He defends my cause.
I choose to forgive those who continue to congregate with [Name]. I choose to fellowship with the light, not darkness (depression, oppression, sin, drunkeness, sensationalism, fleeting pleasures, temporary fulfillment, treasure that fades). I have been set free and there is no reason to walk back into a place of bondage and darkness. I will rejoice in my freedom instead of long for the sins of the past; I will choose to celebrate lasting and uplifting friendships of the light instead of grieve for the passing friendships built on worldly pleasures. I have no time to live in self-pity for I have a purpose in Christ.
God, now pour into me your strength and your power to walk in the newness of life, the path of the righteous, the joy and radiance of the light. I am a new creation; the old has passed and the new has come. I celebrate the victory. Forgiveness is a process, and I will continue in it until the healing is complete, your work is finished, and I am made whole again.
