Jesus taught that a deep spiritual connection with God's love was made each time we pray. He also taught the importance of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is important to me. The act of forgiving another is not only for the other person's well-being; it is for my own spiritual development and growth.

In prayer, I connect with the love of God within my own heart. I cooperate with the love of God that heals me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I consider any need for healing in my current relationships with family, coworkers, and friends, and any need for healing my thoughts about those who are no longer in my life. My heart fills with love as I affirm: Dear one, I forgive you and release you to the blessings of God's love.
