Psalm 86:5

"For You, O LORD, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses... letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy and lovingkindness to all those who call upon You."

Beth Moore, Breaking Free

"No one has ever done more to show [me] that [I am] unloved than God has done to show [me] that [I am] loved.... I may not feel loved or lovable, but Your Word says You love me so much [that] You gave up Your beloved Son for me. I don't know why I continue to feel unloved, but at this moment I choose to believe the truth of Your Word. I rebuke the enemy's attempts to make me doubt Your love. satan knows the truth will set me free, and I've believed his lies over Your Word. I pray for forgiveness for the sin of unbelief. Help me overcome my unbelief" (190).
