Is it possible to pray sincerely for someone you haven’t fully forgiven for a terrible deed they have done to you? Is the fact you haven’t fully forgiven someone a sign you won’t be able to pray for them sincerely?
Praying for someone is the route to forgiveness. God, Who made us and understands us completely, knows that we are often incapable of the purest of motives and perfect sincerity. If we pray as we are able, God will help us and purify our prayer. Eventually we will be able to forgive.
