From Anglican Mainstream.

In this season let us be mindful that there are two dimensions to restoring our relationship with God: forgiving our sin and restoring our relationship. The same holds true in our personal relationships as there are times when we hurt another person. We say hurtful things, we go behind their back, and we betray them. On those occasions when we have the grace to confess what we have done to another, if our friend is merciful, they forgive what we have done. They cancel out our debt. The hurt we have caused is wiped off the slate. But the next step is key with God and others… “sustain in me a willing spirit or a right spirit within me.”

Engage the reflection.
