Forgiveness is hard. In most cases because we feel hurt. Trust broken. Jesus calls is to forgive us people who burst us even though they didn’t ask for forgiveness or even feel sorry for what they have done to you.
The peace that comes from God is eternal. The joy that we have comes from above.
What does your joy depend on? Does your peace come from external or is it eternal? Are you easily troubled by surrounding circumstances?
What prevents me from being forgiving? Am I waiting to see godly repentance or an apology before I forgive? What is the prerequisite or precondition for Forgiveness?
There are situations in our life that are unusually hard to overcome. The usual methods of dealing with problems that we are used to do not work. No matter how hard we try. These are the times where we need to learn how to pray.
We are at different points in life, but we are all sinners, broken people but in the capable hands of the Lord, we can be molded into something beautiful

God’s goal is to shape our lives along the same lines as Christ
