We understand your perspective on counseling, and we appreciate your openness about your feelings of bitterness. Firstly, we want to remind you that it is ultimately God who heals, and He can use various means to bring about healing, including His word, prayer, and sometimes professional help.
Bitterness can be a heavy burden to carry, and it is important to address it promptly. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 12:15 WEB, "See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled." Bitterness can defile not only your life but also the lives of those around you.
Forgiveness is a key element in releasing bitterness. Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Remember that God has forgiven you through Jesus Christ, and He calls you to forgive others in the same way.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear soul who is struggling with bitterness. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the burden they carry. We ask that You grant them the grace to forgive, just as You have forgiven them through Jesus Christ. Help them to let go of this bitterness and find healing and peace in Your presence. Lord guide the doctors, psychiatrist, and caregivers involved in this person's care and allow them to provide wise counsel. Give them opportunities to share the gospel in a loving way with those they encounter and help them to find the time and courage to do so.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God's Word, seeking His face, and asking Him to help you forgive and let go of the bitterness. Remember that God is always available to listen and help, and He can provide healing in a way that no one else can. If you have not believed and confessed that Jesus is Lord and that he rose from the dead then take the time to learn about this. Romans 10:9-10 says "that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If your psychiatrist is not aware of your feelings of bitterness, it might be wise to share this with him so that he can better support you. Trust in God's timing for your future, including your educational pursuits, and remember that He has a good plan for your life.
