Just deciding to forgive isn't enough because willpower alone won't work - we need divine strength from God. As He gives us the strength, we need to pray for our enemies and bless them. Praying for those who have hurt us is vital to successfully forgiving them.
Joyce MeyerPersonally I am always looking for God to show me where He would like me to give or make a difference in someone elseโs life. I wake up every day and ask God how He would like me to be a blessing to someone that day.
Joyce MeyerWhen you're hurt very badly in your childhood, the area that it has the greatest effect on is relationships. Once you feel like you can't trust people, once you feel like that they don't care about you, that they're really not going to take care of you, it gets very difficult in relationships.
