Receiving Forgiveness
Father, your word declares that if I ask for forgiveness, You will forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Help me to believe; help me to receive my forgiveness for past and present sins. Help me to forgive myself. I confess Jesus as my Lord and believe in my heart that You raised him from the dead, and I am saved.
Father, Your Son Jesus said that whatever I ask for in prayer, having faith and really believing, I will receive. Lord I believe, help my unbelief.
Father, I count myself blessed, how happy I am -I get a fresh start, my slate's wiped clean. I count myself blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) - You, Father, are holding nothing against me and You're not holding anything back from me.
When I keep it all inside, my bones turn to powder, my words become daylong groans. The pressure never lets up; all the juices of my life dry up. I am letting it all out; I am saying once and for all that I am making a clean breast of my failures to You, Lord.
In the face of this feeling of guilt and unworthiness, I receive my forgiveness and the pressure is gone- my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. I am blessed, for You have forgiven my transgressions - You have covered my sins. I am blessed, for You will never count my sins against me.
Father, You chose me [actually picked me out for Yourself as Your very own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy (consecrated and set apart for You) blameless in Your sight, even above reproach, before You in love. In Jesus I have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of my offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of Your gracious favor.
Lord, I have received Your Son Jesus, I believe in His name, and He has given me the right to become Your child. I acknowledge You, Lord, as my Father. Thank You for forgiving me and absolving me of all guilt. I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of my testimony.
In the name of Jesus, amen.

Forgiveness
Forgiveness is letting go of the pain and accepting what has happened, because it will not change.
Forgiveness is dismissing the blame. Choices were made that caused the hurt; we each could have chosen differently, but we didn't.
Forgiveness is looking at the pain, learning the lessons it has produced, and understanding what we have learned.
Forgiveness allows us to move on toward a better understanding of universal love and our true purpose.
Forgiveness is knowing that love is the answer to all questions, and that we all are in some way connected.
Forgiveness is starting over with the knowledge that we have gained. It is saying: "I forgive you, and I forgive myself. I hope you can do the same."
