Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, go back into my memory as I sleep.
Every hurt that has ever been done to me - heal that hurt.
Every hurt that I have caused to another person - heal that hurt.
All the relationships that have been damaged in my whole life that I'm not aware of - heal those relationships.
But Lord, if there is anything I need to do - if I need to go to a person still suffering from my hand - bring to my awareness that person.
I choose to forgive, and I ask to be forgiven. Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart, Lord; and fill the empty space with your love.
