Heal me, O God!
Show me how to let go of the resentment and anger
I harbor towards the one who hurt me.
I want to forgive him and move forward in my life,
But when I think of the lasting damage he has caused me,
a hatred courses through me like I have never known before.
Cleanse my heart, O God!
Free me from this pain, this anger, this hate.
Let him impact my life no longer.
I offer this obstacle to you,
Knowing you will show me the way forward,
Just as you have guided me so many times before.
I know with your help I will find myself once again!
