forgiveness is the hardest thing to give away

forgiveness is the hardest thing to give away:
it is the greatest challenge for all on any given day:
  when we were wronged, we hold onto the hurt, pain and resentments and forgiveness is so hard to give away;
  it is so hard to give away, because the deep pain robs us of our peace, serenity and rest, every night and day:
forgiveness is the hardest thing to give away:
because the pain haunts us night and day:
  we cannot come to forgive alone:
  great grace, understanding and courage to forgive must be shown:
only through the power of prayer:
with god we pray for courage, to forgive and for those who hurt us to go on and show love compassion and care:
