Forgive and Hate

Lately I found how hard to forgive. The more I try, the more I fail. The hate is so deep, that I can't forgive. There's a quote...

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you"...

Gee, I'm a prisoner now. A prisoner of my hatred, my emotion and I can't let it go. What am I suppose to do? To forgive is not an easy thing. To forgive also means to forget. With an open wound like this, how can I forgive? How can I forget? I really want to learn . I want to forgive, so I can be free.

"God, please teach me to forgive as You have forgiven me."
