It is easy for me to pray for people who are in distress or have been wronged by others. Praying for those I feel are the evil doers is difficult. Even more difficult is forgiving these individuals who bring pain and suffering to others. One Sunday, God brought me face-to-face with a man whose behavior had been so bad, I had vowed that I’d never forgive him.

Based on a personal experience and Matthew 6:12: “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
