Day 5: Healing Through Forgiveness

Written By Lettie Henley

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." - Ephesians 4:32

Today, we acknowledge that forgiveness is a pathway to healing, for ourselves and for others. When we choose to forgive, we open the door for God’s healing power to work in our hearts, mending wounds caused by betrayal, hurt, or disappointment.

Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is necessary for true healing to occur. It releases us from the chains of bitterness and resentment, allowing God’s love and compassion to flow freely through us. When we forgive, we mirror Christ’s mercy and demonstrate that His grace is active in our lives.

Choose to pursue peace, whether by forgiving someone who has hurt you or releasing the pain inside. Healing begins with obedience, and God promises to restore and renew when we open our hearts to Him.

Prayer:

Lord, heal my heart and help me forgive those who have hurt me. Fill me with Your compassion and love so I can release pain and bitterness. Teach me to forgive as You have forgiven me, and bring Your peace into every part of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
