Matthew 18:21-22 · King James Version
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Peter thought seven was generous. Jesus answers with a number meant to be uncountable — stop keeping the ledger entirely.

Wednesday · Mark 11:25
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Forgiveness is folded right into prayer. You can't fully reach toward God with a grudge still clenched in your fist.
