The attitude of asking for forgiveness and forgiving is an attitude that heals, liberates and restores powerfully, we need the power of forgiveness to obtain the peace we need in our life.
Human beings live many circumstances in life and we are often immersed in dramas and emotions that alter our lives and affect us in many areas, many of these circumstances produce pain and frustrations. Sometimes we are the ones who cause pain and suffering to other people. The people we most expose ourselves to hurt and be hurt are those who are closest to us, starting with the spouse, children and family members. The truth is that it is impossible in this life not to hurt or be hurt. This reality reaches us all human beings, some more than others; but at the end we all suffer.
Offenses are poisonous vectors that attack a person and deposit in him a quantity of frustration, rejection, resentment, pain and revenge. If that poison is not removed from the emotional system of the wounded person; that person will be influenced by those negative feelings that will lead her to rebel and prepare for revenge or severe depression.

James 3: 2 We all offend many times. Matthew 6: 14-15 Therefore, if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive their offenses to men, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. It is evident that all human beings offend many times and many of them unconsciously; but the instruction of God is absolutely mandatory: we must forgive if or if. God does not give us any other option.
Matthew 18: 21-22 Then Peter came to him and said, "Lord, how many times will I forgive my brother who sins against me?" Up to seven? Jesus said to him: I do not tell you until seven, but even up to seventy times seven. The second instruction is that we must always forgive, that is, to forgive must be an attitude, a way of life. If human nature has the weakness to offend many times, we need to develop a forgiving attitude because this attitude is the reflection of Jesus Christ the son of God.
If you need the power of forgiveness, begin by asking God's forgiveness for holding a grudge and hardening your heart. There are very difficult things to forgive, however the mandate is unconditional, because it is the only way to obtain the peace we need. Once we are free from resentment, we can deal with problems in a different, more uplifting way.
