Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, \u201cLord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?\xa0Up to seven times?\u201d Jesus answered,\xa0\u201cI tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. \u201cTherefore, the kingdom of heaven is like\xa0a king who wanted to settle accounts\xa0with his servants.\xa0As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold\xa0was brought to him.\xa0Since he was not able to pay,\xa0the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold\xa0to repay the debt. \u201cAt this the servant fell on his knees before him.\xa0\u2018Be patient with me,\u2019 he begged, \u2018and I will pay back everything.\u2019\xa0The servant\u2019s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. \u201cBut when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.\xa0He grabbed him and began to choke him. \u2018Pay back what you owe me!\u2019 he demanded. \u201cHis fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, \u2018Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.\u2019 \u201cBut he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.\xa0When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. \u201cThen the master called the servant in. \u2018You wicked servant,\u2019 he said, \u2018I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.\xa0Shouldn\u2019t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?\u2019\xa0In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. \u201cThis is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.\u201d
Matthew 18:21-35 (ESV)

Pray then like this: \u201cOur Father in heaven, hallowed be\xa0your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us\xa0this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And\xa0lead us not into temptation but\xa0deliver us from\xa0evil. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,\xa0but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:9-13 (ESV)

1. Check your stock of mercy

1. Know the torture that awaits\xa0

1. Forgive from your heart

Forgiveness is not about forgetting, It's about your freedom.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.\xa0Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,\xa0forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:31-31 (ESV)
