Are you one of the millions incarcerated in the penitentiary of pain? Do you suffer in solitary confinement, isolated by hurts you can’t even talk about? There is only one way out and it won’t be easy. You will have to forgive the very person who has ravished your soul. Only forgiveness can unlock the door of your prison.

“Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

— Colossians 3:13

Lord Jesus, we do not have the strength or the desire to forgive those who have wrecked our lives. Help us I pray. Empower us to do what we cannot do in our own strength. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
