When you pray, forgive. If you have anything against anyone remember that the Lord’s Prayer teaches us to forgive so that our heavenly father also may forgive our trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will God forgive you. Mk.11; 25. Our God is faithful and merciful to forgive our many sins, so is only right that we forgive others. Give is in the key word in ‘for-give’ so when you forgive others you’re giving something to yourself as well as them - and it’s all good. Know yourself and after a disappointment don''t be too hard on yourself and don''t blame God. God is for you, Satan is against you. Remember “If God be for you who can be against you?”
