Before the Cross: The 5 Prayer PrinciplesSample

A lot of us are afraid to pray because we never know how to do it, what to say, afraid we will do it wrong, or just feel silly sitting there. This is why God gave us His Word. Jesus Himself told us how we should pray and modeled it for us. There are 5 prayer principles that Jesus talks about when it comes to prayer from Matthew 6:9-15. Here is the 4th one:

Forgive Us Our Debts, As We Also Have Forgiven Our Debtors

We need to proclaim the Gospel to ourselves, each and every day. We need to be reminded that Jesus Christ died for us on the Cross for all of our past, present, and future sins. Being that God has forgiven us, we need to continue to praise Him (how could we not?) and then be reminded to forgive those since Christ first loved us (1 John 4:19).

Question: Do you forgive easily? Are you holding any grudges? Remember you love and you're free because Jesus first loved you and set you free.
