Have you ever considered what you say when you pray? Prayer is not just a ritual; it’s a conversation with God. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He included a powerful line: 'forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.' This isn’t just a request for personal forgiveness but a commitment to forgive others. Reflect on your prayers. Are you asking for forgiveness while holding grudges? True prayer involves a heart willing to forgive, just as we seek forgiveness from God.
Bible Verse
