I Peter 2:24 everything you are about to say. If the
I John 3:21–22 person is deceased, picture them in heaven
standing next to Jesus.

5. Begin writing your letter with the words,

I’m angry because you hurt me! Tell this
person all the ways that he or she has hurt
you by his or her careless and disrespectful
actions. Keep writing the words I’m angry,
over and over again. Vent all your anger on
paper. Don’t worry about spelling or
grammar; just release everything that needs
to be said.

6. After you vent all your anger, move on to

any fears that you may have experienced.
How has this person affected your life?
Describe how the consequences of his or her
careless actions have carried forward into permanently set free—free to be the child of
your present-day relationships. God the Lord intended you to be.

7. After you vent any fears or guilty

feelings, get in touch with your sadness. Tell
this person what you wanted to happen that
didn’t. If you’re writing to your father say,
I’m sad because I wanted a better
relationship with you. I wanted you to treat
me like a beloved son or daughter. I wanted
your love and support.

8. Conclude your letter with anything else

you need to say to this person, and then
begin a new letter by picturing the person
who hurt you in a completely healed state.
Picture them in heaven standing next to
Jesus. Imagine this person full of God’s
love, and because they are full of God’s
love, allow them to offer you an apology.

9. Start your apology letter by saying, I’m

sorry for hurting you. You didn’t deserve to
be treated like that. I’m so sorry. Please
forgive me. Write down all the loving words
that you need to hear.

10. Conclude your apology letter with

prayer. Release the person who hurt you into
the Lord’s hands. Ask Jesus to wash away
any negativity that you may have picked up
by accepting this person’s abuse. Surrender
this person to the Lord, and if appropriate,
ask Jesus to break all unhealthy soul-ties.

11. Allow Jesus to speak to you through a

closure letter. Accept the Lord’s love and
forgiveness. Allow the Lord’s love and
forgiveness to flow into your heart and
cleanse you of all curses, resentment and
negativity.

12. Ask the Lord to show you if there’s

anything else that you need to release. Allow
yourself to fall into the Lord’s arms and be
