Is It Possible To Let Go Of Bitter Feelings

The Bible says we can let go of bitterness and anger!  It is something we practice putting away from us.  The more we practice, the better at this we will get.  We can challenge ourselves to select a thought or feeling we have been experiencing for a span of time.  We can practice putting that particular thought away from us.  Do NOT let it stir in our minds.  Each time we turn away from that thought and think on something else, we are giving less power to the bitter thought.

Each time that thought comes to us, we can pull on (ask for) God’s grace to cast it out.  We can pull on (ask for) God’s promise to protect us from thinking on that thought.  If we do not think it, it cannot inflame our emotions.  This takes practice and work, but it is worth the effort to gain control of our own mind.  A scripture to remember:

Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

My Prayer

God, Please remove bitterness and wrath from my mind.  I have faith that these will leave me,

but I need your spirit of discernment and grace. Please bring

love, kindness, and gentleness into my mind.  Amen
