Forgiveness

I ask for God's forgiveness often,
For my sins, for my omissions.
Do I offer forgiveness to those who wrong me?
Seldom, I fear.
Forgive me for my inability to follow in Jesus' footsteps
And to obey the words of the model prayer:
"Forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us."
I know that alone I cannot forgive,
So I ask God not only for forgiveness,
But for the power to forgive.
