In life, we’ll have many regrets, things we wish we had done differently, harsh words we regret saying, harsh words that were said to us, people we’ve hurt and people who’ve hurt us. Those memories can haunt us. Those memories can be persistent and painful, and very often they involve someone who has died. All wounds, especially spiritual and emotional wounds, need healing. Here’s a simple first step that you can take. Say this prayer every night before going to bed.
Healing Prayer at Bedtime
Lord Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit,
go back into my memory as I sleep.
Every hurt that has ever been done to me, heal that hurt.
Every hurt that I have ever caused another person, heal that hurt.
All the relationships that have been damaged in my whole life
that I am not aware of, heal those relationships.
But, Lord, if there is anything that I need to do;
if I need to go to a person because he or she is still suffering
from my hand, bring that person to my awareness.
I choose to forgive and I ask to be forgiven.
Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart, Lord,
and fill the empty spaces with your love.
Amen
