The most powerful, simplest, and most life changing 72 words in the Bible is the Prayer for God to Change Me in Matthew 6:9-13.
In the model prayer that we are to pattern our life-long prayer life after, is that constant reminder when we ask God to “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”.
God said remember every day, and each time you pray that the pathway to enjoying the benefits of forgiveness is completely tied to whether you have a forgiving and tender heart!
Did you catch how seriously Jesus warns the danger of an un-forgiving, embittered heart?
Jesus just told us as believers that if we are unforgiving, we would trap ourselves in the prison house and find ourselves in solitary confinement, tortured by the poisonous and sharp cutting edge of bitterness. Just look at someone in the grip of bitterness and you will see the torture they are going through; sadly they can't see it is self-inflicted torture.
