Letting Go of Hurt

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

…and do not give the devil a foothold.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
