... and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us...
The way I see it, we have two choices:
1) Stop saying the Lord's prayer, lest we get what we ask for
2) Start actually forgiving those who trespass against us
.
I have in the past had difficulties with the quote from the Lord's Prayer. A priest explained that we can forgive, yet still be reminded of the pain and hurt done to us. Let each reminder be an opportunity to pray again for those who hurt us.
