Which is harder: To ask for help or forgive ourselves?

If you find it hard to ask for help or impossible to forgive yourself, you are not alone. What we can do is accept the forgiveness of each other and one another. Forgiveness is not an achievement, it is a gift. What we receive each week at worship: Forgiveness is - a gift from God. What we receive from each other is help. How, then can we not receive His gifts?
