The ability to forgive is within each of us, but few if any, can really forgive without Divine help. You know how hard it can be to let go of feelings of resentment and anger. It is natural for humans to cry out for punishment or restitution. Thankfully God knows of our weakness and requires only that we ask for His help. God asks that we name our hurt (out loud) and recognize the power these feelings can have over us.
By speaking the words to God we show Him our commitment to forgiveness and He is ever ready to see it done. When we choose this path, not only are we accepting God's grace but we may even find that we feel understanding and compassion towards whom ever or what ever hurt us. I know I could never go from resentment to compassion without God's help!
