God, I don’t want to forgive. And while that makes me feel like a bad Christian, I don’t know how to change my heart. I am so deeply hurt by this person I loved so much. I don’t feel like I deserved what they did to me — I tried my hardest to be what they needed, and their actions feel heartless and cruel. But because I know Your Word says to forgive, I don’t want to stay in this place of bitterness. No matter how hard it is, I know I need to move toward forgiveness. Soften my heart. Help me see the bigger picture of what forgiveness does in me. I know You have forgiven me, even when I didn’t deserve it. Help me heal and walk forward today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
