    We all know how difficult forgiveness can be; God does too. That’s why He told us to pray for our enemies. It takes time, but it’s hard to remain angry with someone when you are praying for them. If you find that hard to do, ask Jesus for help. He certainly knows about forgiving people who wronged Him, and His grace can help you if you just ask.

    The psalm acknowledges that while we may want to live as God instructed us, we are weak and need God’s help to do so. Turning to God as the psalmist says, and asking Him to ”Give me discernment, that I may observe your law and keep it with all my heart” is the way forward. This is a positive action, that will bear positive outcomes.
