Grantley, I am almost at a loss for words. I have just completed reading your webpage. Before I even got to the end, where you suggested replacing Jim’s name with someone you need to forgive, I had already done that. I read the entire prayer, out loud, replacing his name with my mother’s name. This prayer hit me at just the right time. My spiritual warfare is constantly over my relations with my mother. Just a couple days ago I had a very big argument with my mother. Not only do I have the past to contend with (her physical and emotional abuse) but even in the present, she continues to hurt me. . . .

Reading your page made me realize how much I was feeling superior to her, without even realizing it! I have been so wrapped up in my own hurts, so angry at her for everything she has done wrong, forgetting that I am just as guilty of sin, if not more so. Here I am, the saved one, and I am harboring bitterness and great anger toward her. It’s been so easy for me to judge her and say that she is wrong. However, I have forgotten about my own short-comings.

I have been tormented with trying to understand forgiveness.  . . . This prayer released me of many feelings. I truly felt this prayer in my heart, as I said it! I was almost too excited to read it. I could feel my heart pounding harder. I knew that I needed to put her sins into His hands. I can’t right her wrongs. I can’t judge her anymore. I need to concentrate on my sins, my own need to be forgiven. I also feel comfortable with the fact that I can walk away and not be used as a target. Grantley, this page is a comforting and eye-opening wonder! Thank you!

A Note from Grantley

Hard work went into the writing of that webpage, but no hard work could ever bring about the miracle God has performed. We each need nothing less than a real-life encounter with the Living God. I’m so grateful to our Savior and almost overawed, to be the unworthy link in this sacred encounter.

Our wonderful Lord wants to transform your life, too.
