Someone wise once said that the definition of human should always include something about the need for forgiveness. Certainly it is universal. Everyone of us fail at sometime in our relationships, and the only thing that can keep those relationships stable is the will to forgive. Without it the relationship of marriage has little hope. Void of forgiveness the parent child relationship turns bitter. Most of all, without the reality of forgiveness, the relationship between God and us could not exist...The Lord teaches us to pray about forgiveness because it is a daily need in our relationship with Him. Daily we do our own thing, though it is His will that we are made to follow. Daily we sin, and fall short of His will for us. This is a debt that is too severe for us to handle, for it separates us from our source of life, our source for everything. It is also too immense for us too handle for we do not have the resource that such sin demands-our life. To pay the debt within ourselves means that we would condemn ourselves too eternal judgement. We need the LORD’s forgiveness of our sins.
