Praying and Forgiveness

"When you are praying, of you are angry with someone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins." Mark 11:25

Isn't it presumptuous to come to the throne of grace if we haven't been gracious to the people in our life? How can we approach a God of mercy if we ourselves have hearts full of bitterness or anger? We must take care of relationship problems - make up with a spouse, get along with fellow church members, love our neighbors - then we will be fully united in prayer with the Father.
