Prayer to Forgive an Ex

For moving on from a painful breakup or divorce.

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.”

Lord, my past relationship ended with pain. I still feel anger and hurt when I think about my ex.

Help me forgive them and myself. Help me stop replaying old arguments.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Help me stop living in the past.

Heal my heart and prepare me for a healthy future. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
