Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
- Matthew 6:12


When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, he responded with what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer. Embedded in the language of the prayer is this specific request for forgiveness.
It is evident from the content of the prayer that our Lord meant for us to pray after this manner daily, because it includes a request for this day's daily bread. It is therefore equally plain that Jesus is instructing us to confess our sins daily and ask for God's forgiveness.

Too often we allow a long time, and many unconfessed sins, to amass before we go to the Lord in prayer. As a result, we begin to feel estranged from God; our guilty conscience then makes it even more difficult to go to him in prayer at all.

It is best to keep "short accounts" with God, going to him regularly with our sin debt and allowing him to wipe it clean. We then delight to go to him for a regular time of confession, communion, and refreshing.

Notice, also, how this daily forgiveness is tied purposefully and inseparably to our own forgiveness of others. Jesus, in effect, couches this prayer in such a way that we must either forgive others completely and daily, or we are cursing ourselves each time we pray!

"Forgive us as we forgive others," Jesus tells us to pray. Have you taken your sin-debt to God in prayer today? Have you forgiven others as you yourself hope to be forgiven?

Psalm 74

22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember how the foolish man reproacheth Thee daily.

23 Forget not the voice of Thine enemies; the tumult of those that rise up against Thee increaseth continually.

If a man is caught raping a woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

Good for you, Ray, keep reading the Bible, and continue to visit - who knows, we may rub off on you. We aren't looking for arguments or controversy, just capture another heart for Jesus.

Yes, I've seen that picture as well.

You're searching, you know He just may end up having the answers you're looking for.

The young woman, where I sent you, found Him in a vision. Before that her family did not believe. Interesting story.

As far as religion goes all my questions have been answered!
