Forgiveness can feel difficult. There are so many things in life that hurt us, and yet, Jesus teaches us to forgive. He says that when we pray, we should ask for forgiveness just as we ask for help to forgive those who’ve wronged us. That’s huge! It’s almost like Jesus is challenging us to do more than we think we can.

If we’re asking for forgiveness, we also need to consider how willing we are to forgive others. Take a second to imagine the feeling of not carrying the weight of anger or grudges. Do you imagine feeling lighter? What would it look like if you could forgive and let go of resentment? When we practice forgiveness, we are able to take a step closer to experiencing that kind of freedom.

This week, try praying the simple prayer Jesus taught us to pray. Then, ask Jesus how you can forgive others the way He offers forgiveness to you.
