When You Are Resentful
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger
and clamor and slander be
put away from you.—Ephesians 4:30-32
God, I am feeling resentful. Maybe there are
good reasons for my resentment. Maybe there
aren’t. Either way, take these feelings from me.
Resentment is really just a desire to hurt another—
but I am only hurting myself. Help me forgive.
Make me bigger than my resentment. Amen.
