PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS/HEALING /BLESSING_MOTHER & CHILD

ASKING FORGIVENESS FROM YOUR CHILD
If you are the mother, adjust this as needed to fit your relationship with your child.
If you are standing in for someone, ask their permission to speak to them as their mother.
Let these be like the words that your mother would have spoken to you, if she could have separated from her sins and if she could have received the
love and mercy of the true Father and had His heart to share with you. Let it help release your mother from any bitterness you may have toward her
and restore a true image into your heart of what your Heavenly Father is really like.
