Forgive

Many things can hinder our ability to pray. One of the most powerful barriers is an unforgiving heart. When we hold onto anger, resentment, or the refusal to forgive, it creates spiritual resistance. It clouds our thoughts, hardens our hearts, and distances us from the peace that prayer is meant to bring.

"The forgiven heart will forgive others." This isn’t just a spiritual principle; it’s a posture of healing. When we truly grasp the grace we've received, it softens our grip on bitterness. But when forgiveness is withheld, it often manifests in negative thoughts, strained relationships, and behaviors that reflect inner unrest.

Prayer thrives in a heart that’s open, humble, and willing to release what no longer serves. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it clears the path for deeper connection with God, with others, and with ourselves.
