AN ORIGINAL SELAH37 PRAYER
God, you know what happened and how it has marked me. Help me bring the truth into the light without surrendering to revenge. Give me wise support, safe boundaries, and patience for healing. Where repair is possible, lead us toward it. Teach me mercy without asking me to call harm good. Amen.

Biblical foundation
Christian forgiveness is shaped by God’s mercy. Romans recognizes that peace is not always within one person’s power.
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32 Read in WEB ↗If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
Romans 12:18 Read in WEB ↗He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3 Read in WEB ↗
Name one boundary or support you need; forgiveness does not require unsafe contact.
Study the context
Forgiveness, restored trust, and reconciliation are related but not identical. Romans 12:18 explicitly qualifies the call to live peaceably.

Need urgent support?
You deserve real support. If you might hurt yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. Reach out to a trusted person who can stay with you. Prayer can accompany care; this tool cannot provide emergency help.
Use your country’s emergency number or a local crisis service. A trusted person, clinician, or safe community leader can help you find support.
