Matt W. Leach works through “forgive us our debts” in the Lord’s Prayer, setting it beside Jesus’ parable of the servant who was forgiven millions yet refused to release a twenty dollar debt. It is a reminder to the movement of how little it costs to forgive compared with what God has already forgiven. He argues that unforgiveness blocks answered prayer, while the deeper nature beneath it is love, planted in the believer’s spirit at salvation.
