    I had to forgive my ex. He was physically abusive. God told me to say this prayer, ‘God, I choose to bless ______
    I asked that you bless him Financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually bless him.’ I absolutely hated him. God promised me that if I prayed this prayer that my feelings would line up with his word. I prayed for him to three times a day. Every time I thought about him it took about 3 1/2 months to where one day. I was praying, and I actually felt compassion for him. I thank God for his love and his grace and his divine help in my life I don’t know where I would be without him.

    ❤wow tremendous testimony of God‘s grace and healing upon this precious life. This made me cringe inside as a mom, grandma, great grandma I cannot believe how desperate her mother could be not to defend her child. BUT Satan, always tries to see how he can steal and destroy someone’s life and what’s hurtful is so young. That’s why I detest sex trafficking! That’s another subject. But I totally agree. Unforgiveness can be a person’s unhealthy life if you don’t forgive, we have to be grounded in God and know that we have to lay it at his feet and continuously, remembering that he paid a price for us to be set free. I pray blessings upon you and your life and I know through this that happened to you sweet girl you are shedding life to someone else perhaps has been in your shoes. Love you ladies thank you once again.❤❤❤❤❤

    This has really blessed me, But it has been so hard for me to move on from so many things. I feel like I forgive but it is so hard to be healed. Everything I have been through affects my every day life. I will keep praying to be free so that I can stop hurting people I love.

    Gdm! Hope all is well
    When you see something, that is not right, unjust, or disrespectful, use your voice, speak up, and speak out.
    Your voice is powerful for your well being, and it is truly transformational for helping others, and making the changes that are necessary.
    If you’ve kept quiet for a long time, people will be surprised, and may not like the “you” who has reclaimed your voice.
    Please know that this is okay, normal, and to be expected. People get used to your silence, and now they will have to adapt to your voice. If not, wish them well and keep on speaking up.🔥
    (Stop using the “That’s just how I am” to excuse rude or inconsiderate behavior.)

    Forgiveness - there's two sides to the coin. There's forgiveness and there's repentance. The people that transgress against us; repentance is their path to reconciliation with us. Someone who is not willing to repent, will continue to perpetuate the pain. In this case it is wise to physically separate yourself, for your own well being. Through prayer, our hearts can be made tender towards those who have transgressed against us.

    How do I deal with it when it's not in the past but in the present. When you are staying with someone who knows that you have nowhere to run to. Someone who will abuse you because you have nothing to stand on your two feet. Because he knows that even your family have little to nothing to offer to you for your dreams to come true. Someone who doesn't care about you and who treats you like a robot. Someone who will even paint a picture that nobody will believe you, especially to your own children. The past two years the animal in him really came to life when I started doing my degree. It is my 3rd year this year and the hurt is not getting better.

      I’m so sorry this is happening to you.💔 I believe God can get you on the other side.🫶🏻 NO ONE can stop the plans of God. God can pull you up from anywhere, even there (God isn’t scared of the mess, and you are so worthy of His help) . Please rest, and trust in God knowing it’s not on you to fix it. Release it to God because He will save and redeem you. I pray for your courage, guidance, and comfort in this time. You are deeply loved by God and safe in Him. Take His hand, He will carry you through this. He is the light we get to follow when it’s foggy. Just know He is walking you to that blessing on your heart. It’s there for a reason. Sending faith and love your way. 🩵🩵🩵

    What did you pray about your mother exactly? I also want to learn from that, I need to forgive my husband who is a narcissist, who abused, manipulated, lied and cheated on me for 3.5 years, Last year he left when I was 3months pregnant, he wanted a baby and after i got pregnant, he rejected the pregnancy, he abandoned me, the pregnancy was very tough, that is a journey you wouldn't want to walk alone. He hurt me intentionally. End of last year, a baby was born, up to now he still hasn't come to see his child or supported her. What surprises me is that the moment I start forgetting the trauma, he calls or texts that he wants to be part of his child and never does that.
    I am in a healing process and I honestly dont know how to forgive him.
    I am bitter looking at the 3.5 years I have been with him and all I did was to love him, provide, support and build him but that was not even enough. He just used me and lied to me😭

      I do too many a times😢 But I've learnt to rely on the words of Jesus that He didn't come to the earth to bring peace but a sword.... in that sense we need to choose Jesus over our toxic family members. Love them and pray for them but distance oneself for as long the toxicity exists.

    Forgiveness breaks down bondages and restore you gives you peace and new life. I lost my job and kept lamenting blaming my colleagues. Then Jesus visited me in a closet when praying mid day on the last day of my 7 day prayer prayer and Jesus visited me and calling me by my name saying ,''I know you are hurt and you want revenge, what should I do,do you want me to make them loose thier Jobs and live as you are .I said no Jesus don't make them loose their Jobs I don't them to suffer like me.Then Jesus then forgive them from the bottom of your heart.Then the next day I contacted my colleagues greeted them and wished them well and blessed them.After few months I received a prophecy that God is going to restore my job and indeed October 2012 I got a job which up today I am still in and with so much power grace and mercy. So forgiveness is the best medicine of your life. Stay blessed.
