Prayer
5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,

10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

11Give us today our daily bread.

12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.Or from evil; some late manuscripts one, / for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Sometimes other people hurt us so much that we find it extremely hard to forgive them. This verse is a gentle reminder that sometimes we hurt God and he is willing to forgive us every time. God would never say no to anyone who asks for forgiveness and neither should we.

Forgiveness is a defining characteristic of every Christian because it is a defining characteristic of God. Having belief without forgiving others hardens you into a self-righteous Pharisee.
