The prayer
Written prayerDear Lord, It is so hard to know who to trust in this life. You are the only one I trust. If I put aside my suspicions and open my heart and then find out I was lied to, the fire of my anger can destroy those who I feel betrayed me. Vengeance is mine says the Lord, and it is not up to me to take justice or revenge into my own hands. So often when I feel I have been betrayed I want to burn and degrade those who have offended me in the eyes of others. I want them to pay for what they did but this is not your way. This is the way of the flesh and plays right into the enemies hands. I need your love and peace to quell the fiery passions of my anger. It is difficult to quiet my soul when I have been wounded. That is when it is important for me to run to you for your comfort. You pour in your healing oil, sooth my raw nerves and gentle my heart. When I know you understand my pain I don’t feel alone and I don’t have such a strong need to strike back in anger. I know that doesn’t please you and my desire is to please you. I will place this situation in your hands and let you be my defender and healer. I pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
