and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us

and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. Matthew 6:12.

Whenever we pray the Lord's prayer, we ask God to forgive us our wrong doings as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. For some this may seem so difficult especially if they've endured a lifetime of abuse, or life impacting situation. Yet when we consider Jesus forgave His killers before He died on the cross, and that He died on that cross to forgive the sins of humanity, what He asks us to do maybe difficult, but not impossible. If you're struggling, ask God to help you to forgive and day by day God will change your heart. Forgiveness will actually set you free as you no longer have to retain the pain that keeps your unforgiveness alive. Praise God today that He'll help us to forgive others that will set us free as we keep close to Him and ask Him daily to change our heart in a way that only He can.
