180 Days of Prayer for Christians Learning to Forgive: A Scripture and Reflection Journal with Scripture, Guided Prayers, and Reflection Prompts to Help Christians Learning to Forgive

You may have picked up this book because a relationship is broken, because a memory keeps you awake at night, or because you heard a sermon on forgiveness and felt a quiet failure you did not dare name aloud. You may have read that forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, and wondered why, for you, it has felt more like a sentence than a gift. If you have been hurt badly and you feel that forgiveness is impossible, that feeling is not a failure of faith and not proof that you are a bad Christian. It is the honest report of a wounded heart, and God is not offended by honesty.

The most common misunderstanding is that forgiveness means excusing the wrong, forgetting the past, and letting the person back in exactly as before. None of those things are what the Bible means, and this book will show you the difference between forgiveness, trust, and reconciliation. Forgiveness is the releasing of a debt, and it can happen in your heart even when the other person never says sorry, and it never requires you to reopen your life to someone unsafe. This is a 180-day journey, roughly 6 months of practice, because forgiveness is not a single decision you make once and file away.

Inside, you'll discover:
• 180 daily entries, each with Scripture, a reflection, a guided prayer, and a prompt
• 15 chapters from why forgiveness feels impossible to a forgiving life
• How to forgive yourself, forgive the church, and forgive those closest
• The anatomy of bitterness and the daily discipline of releasing the debt
• How boundaries are a form of love, not the enemy of forgiveness

This book will not ask you to pretend, to forget, or to become a doormat, and it will never ask you to reconcile with someone unsafe. What it will do is help you see that you are not manufacturing forgiveness out of willpower, but drawing it from the deep well of the grace you have already received. The work is real, the grace is real, and the freedom is already on its way, one honest day at a time.
