Luke 10:41–42 NIV
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus in his prayer, while teaching his disciples how to pray added this scripture. We all need forgiveness because we have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). Reflect on your life today, who in your life do you need to forgive? Your first reaction might be, I have forgiven everyone who has wronged me in my life.
