Matthew 6:12; Colossians 3:13; Luke 23:34
- Is there a time in your life when you struggled to forgive someone who hurt you? You don’t have to share details, but how did that situation affect your heart and your walk with the Lord?
- Jesus teaches us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Why do you think Jesus connects our forgiveness from God with our willingness to forgive others? What makes forgiveness so difficult for us at times?
- How have you seen bitterness or unresolved anger affect a person’s life, relationships, or peace? What do you think holding on to unforgiveness costs us?
- Is there someone you may need to forgive today—or someone you may need to ask forgiveness from? What would it look like to take one small step toward peace this week? How can prayer help soften our hearts in those situations?
