When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

A Guide To Forgiveness

So, how do we forgive? Pray, the manner of prayer not nearly as important as its location of origin. Did the prayer come from our intellect primarily, because we see the payoff the Law of Forgiveness provides and wish to reap the benefits or from our heart because we truly desire freedom for ourselves and the offender?

Consider carefully, if we hold in our hearts even the slightest doubt the object of our resentment deserves forgiveness than our demonstration will be stunted. Take heart though since prayer will address this as well. Begin by finding a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, then take a few moments to quiet yourself. One method is to take three or four deep breaths with your eyes closed, slowly exhaling. Then quietly asking God to remove from you any anger still residing in your heart toward the offender, asking to be shown the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness and love, in your life and the offenders. Now that you have quieted yourself, releasing any lingering anger, read or recite out loud any prayer which has particular significance to you, then quietly say you now forgive the individual completely, you pray every good thing you desire in life to come too theirs as well, and if there is anything God would have you do to be of service to them, you are willing. Finish with “May I do Thy will always. Amen.”

Do not under any pretense repeat this treatment. If we do we repudiate the demonstration and short circuit our growth. To be clear, resentments are tenacious and will float into our consciousness again. When this happens immediately say a blessing for them and turn your thoughts to God. In time you will need to do this less and less. Do not be afraid to offer yourself to be of service, for God will never place us in a position to be harmed if we are about His business, so if you are called to service something truly remarkable will come of it. By obeying the Law of Forgiveness, not only are we set free, but all whose lives we touch improve as well.
