Using a computer may be easy for most of us, but we may not really understand how a computer works.
Driving a car may be easy for some of us, but we may not know how a car works.
A number of things in the world may seem to be easy when we learn how to do it, yet how they work or operate is not as simple as it seems.
Similarly for prayer. It would be easy to learn how to say the prayer of the "Our Father" and other structured prayers and we can remember them by heart.
And to say the "Our Father", the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, would not take more than a minute.
But it would take a lifetime to understand what that prayer means.
And it also take a long time to understand what Jesus said after teaching that prayer.
Jesus emphasised on forgiveness after teaching the prayer of the "Our Father".
So forgiveness is the one of the first fruits of prayer.
Praying may sound easy, but forgiveness is certainly not as easy.
We need to continue to pray the "Our Father", reflect and meditate on it, and may it bear the fruit of forgiveness in our lives.
