It appeals to our innate ability to hold on tightly to disappointment, resentment, bitterness, and anger, which are all the roots of unforgiveness when dealing with soul-vexing people or circumstances. Instead of dealing with the issue at hand, we unintentionally harbor unforgiveness like a prized possession, deepening psychological stress, pain, and anguish. Consequently, unforgiveness affects our connection with God, people, and robs us of the inclination to prosper.
