And when you're praying, if you're holding something against someone — let it go. Because your heavenly Father forgives you the same way you forgive others.

Be careful not to do your good deeds just so people will see you and think you're amazing. If that's your only reason, don't expect any reward from your Father in heaven.

But if you don't forgive people when they mess up and hurt you, your heavenly Father won't forgive you when you mess up either.
