Forgiveness in scripture is rarely framed as easy, and it's never framed as pretending the hurt didn't happen. It's described instead as a release — letting go of the debt someone owes you, the way your own debt was released.
"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" ties the two together directly. That's not a guilt trip; it's an acknowledgment that forgiveness given and forgiveness received tend to shape each other.
