Love That Lasts: 30 Days in God’s WordSample

Forgiveness Breaks the Cycle

Some wounds don’t feel “small.” They replay in our minds, shaping patterns of distance and pain. Left unchecked, unforgiveness becomes a cycle that poisons intimacy.

God’s Word shows us that real forgiveness breaks destructive cycles and sets us free.

Read His Word:
“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

Pray His Word:
Father, You know the deeper hurts in our marriage. Give me strength to forgive what feels impossible, and heal the wounds only You can touch. Break cycles of bitterness and restore peace.

Live His Word:
Write down one deep hurt you’ve carried. Pray over it and surrender it to God. If ready, share with your spouse that you’re choosing to release it.

Tomorrow we’ll discover how God’s strength carries us when we feel weak.
