Prayer to Release Bitterness

Pray to release bitterness with this powerful prayer. Ask God to uproot the offense in your heart, release the person who hurt you, and receive the freedom forgiveness brings.

Father, I know there is bitterness in my heart and I know it is hurting me more than the person it is toward. I have held onto this offense because letting go feels like saying what happened was okay — and it was not. But You are not asking me to excuse it. You are asking me to hand the person over to You and walk free. I choose to do that now. I release this hurt to You. I release this person. I do not excuse what they did, but I refuse to let it continue defining me and poisoning my life. Root bitterness out and plant forgiveness in its place. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Hebrews 12:15See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Ephesians 4:31-32Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
