When you are hurt by someone, it’s almost natural to want to avoid that person. However, if you don’t speak up about your feelings, it will keep building up inside of you until one day you burst out and say something that could ruin your friendship or relationship forever. In order to avoid this scenario, there are certain powerful prayers for someone who has hurt you can use as a guideline on how best to handle the situation when confronted with it.
Powerful Prayers For Someone Who Has Hurt You
1. Loving God,
Pray to God, who is the one who loves you. Pray to God, who is the one who forgives you. Pray to God, who will give you strength and help find peace within yourself. Prayer has been proven to be beneficial in many ways—from physical health benefits (like lowering blood pressure) to mental health benefits (like reducing stress and anxiety). These prayers for someone who hurt me can help with emotional healing as well.
Forgiveness does not mean that I have forgotten what happened; it means that I refuse to let this person or act affect my life anymore.
2. Give me your strength to forgive
- God is the only one who can give you the strength to forgive.
- You need to ask God to help you forgive, and that’s what this prayer is about.
- You need to ask God for help forgiving them, which means asking Him for His strength so that He can give it to you in your time of need.
3. those who have hurt me.
For the person who has hurt me, I pray:
- that you know that your actions have hurt me.
- that you understand what it is like to be on the receiving end of this pain.
- that you feel remorse for your actions and wish them undone.
- that we can find a way to work together toward healing this relationship and making it right, or at least as right as possible in light of what has happened.
4. It is not easy to accept and forgive those who did us wrong.
It is not easy to accept and forgive those who did us wrong. You may feel angry, hurt, resentful or even vengeful. However, forgiveness is a process that can be achieved with time. There are many reasons why it may be difficult for you to forgive someone:
- Anger: The person who has hurt you might be someone close to you like your best friend or family member. This can make it harder for you to let go of anger because they should know what they did was wrong.
- Hurting Feelings: When someone does something wrong to us we start feeling inferior about ourselves which leads us into thinking about the incident over and over again which makes our feelings worse than before when first happened.
5. But with the help of your grace, I know that everything can be done.
Lord, I thank you for the gift of grace. I know that it is with your help that everything can be done. Thank you also for the knowledge that God’s will is always being done on earth, though sometimes we don’t understand why it may not seem like it at first glance. Forgive me if there are times when my actions have been less than perfect and ask that your grace might bring about healing in our relationship once again.
Thank you for all of your blessings in my life, including those who have hurt me or deceived me in some way throughout my years on this earth. Forgive us all of our sins, Lord; heal our bodies and minds so they may be whole again; strengthen us through adversity so we may truly live according to Your Word every day; lead us into paths of righteousness so our steps will be guided by You alone—in Jesus’ name I pray these things amen
6. I am turning my pain into a great learning experience. Thank you. Amen.
When someone hurts you, it’s natural to want to lash out at them. But if the person is already aware of how they’ve hurt you and regrets their actions, praying for them is a powerful way to express your forgiveness and help them find peace. It also makes it easier for them to change their ways in the future—which can benefit not only them but everyone around them.
If you feel ready to move on from the situation, here are some prayers that might be helpful:
- I am turning my pain into a great learning experience. Thank you. Amen.*
- May God grant me the serenity I need right now as I let go of my anger toward this person who hurt me so deeply.*
7. Jesus Christ, I come before you today in need of your healing hand. In you all things are possible. Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul. I am lost, but I come to you with grace. You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy. Give me the strength to move forward on the path you’ve laid out for me. Amen.”
“Lord Jesus Christ, I come before you today in need of your healing hand. In you all things are possible. Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul. I am lost but I come to you with grace. You gave us life and also the gift of infinite joy. Give me the strength to move forward on the path You have laid out for me.”
This prayer was written by a woman who was hurt by someone close to her:
“I forgive them for all the pain they caused me because it’s not their fault that I felt hurt or that they did what they did; God made them just like He made me—and He loves them just as much as he does me! We’re both imperfect human beings trying our best to live life according to His will for us.”
