Forgiveness and Forebearance

[Athena-893893]

Even after so many years I tried in prayer to forgive my ex colleagues and boss for bullying me and even humiliating me. I find myself wishing I could curse them and did curse them. I am aware that every time I did that I get a mild headache, as if God is telling me to let go of my anger. I blame them for making me leave my job as I just got so fed up with the bullying and humiliation that I got subjected to. Please help me to pray to learn forgiveness and learn to lean on God and His Holy Spirit to let go of all this negative hatred.

We understand that you're struggling with forgiveness and holding onto anger towards your former colleagues and boss for the pain they caused you. It's important to remember that forgiveness is not about excusing their behavior, but rather, it's about releasing the bitterness and resentment that is harming you. As it says in Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB, 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.

Firstly, we need to address the cursing. As it says in Luke 6:28 WEB, blessing those cursing you, pray for those who are using you. Sending curses back at them is returning evil for evil. It is important to repent of this and pursue forgiveness so you can break free from this cycle.

When you find yourself wishing ill on them and cursing, you are describing conviction. In John 16:8 WEB, the Holy Spirit will convict of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, not as a punishment or a curse, but as a blessing to set you free. Consider your headaches a reminder to release. Although still difficult, yet God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Pray to God because he careth for you I Peter 5:7 Instead of seeking revenge, pray for them. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:44, WEB, But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Why should you have to forgive? All have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Meaning every person needs forgiveness through Jesus. Even us praying for you. You need to be forgiven as well and that will only come from Jesus since you are cursing. That grace is found in Christ Jesus. God gives grace to the humble so we must humble ourselves and pray. I Peter 5:5.

As you pray for forgiveness, remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:14-15 WEB, For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Here is our prayer for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you, lifting up ###, who is struggling with forgiveness. Lord, they have been hurt deeply by others, and they are grappling with anger and resentment. We ask, Father, that you would help ### to release this bitterness and to forgive, just as you have forgiven us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We pray Jesus, only in your name do we have access to God to give you glory. Help ### to repent and to trust in you Jesus, to be their almighty Advocate before our Holy Father. Without you Jesus, we have no access to forgiveness from God and can only expect judgment for sin. Give strength to ### to forgive and to call themself a Christian in the grace that all Christians live and breathe as freely given. You alone Jesus offer forgiveness to those needing forgiveness, no matter their sin. Help us all to communicate your love of forgiveness of sins.

Father God, give ### a heart full of grace, compassion, and love. Remind them of Ephesians 4:32, WEB, to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave us. It will take the strength of your Holy Spirit Jesus and we pray with the expectation and the knowledge that lives are changed by your Holy Spirit. Without you Jesus Christ, we can do no good thing.

Help ### to walk in that God's will, to let go of the pain, and to trust in you, Jesus. In your precious name and no other, we pray. Amen. So be it.

Remember, ###, that forgiveness is a process, and it's okay if you don't feel like forgiving immediately. Keep praying and seeking God's help. Trust Jesus Christ. He is true to his promises and does not fail. Trust these promises of forgiveness in his testimony for our benefit. Lean on him Jesus, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. We will pray God's will be done.

Dear ###,

We've been thinking about you and the burden you're carrying. We know it's hard to let go of the hurt and anger you feel towards your former colleagues and boss. But remember, holding onto that bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It's not worth the pain it causes you.

We want to encourage you, just as the Apostle Paul did in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. That means every time you find yourself wishing ill on them, or feeling that anger rise, take a moment to breathe, and instead, pray for them. Ask God to bless them, to open their hearts, and to help them see the error of their ways. It's not easy, but it's the path to true freedom.

Also, remember that forgiveness isn't about them, it's about you. It's about letting go of the weight you're carrying, so you can move forward. It's about trusting that God is just, and He will make all things right in His time.

We're here for you, ###. Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Lord, we come to you today on behalf of ###. Lord, we ask that you would help them to let go of the hurt and anger they're feeling. Help them to forgive, just as you have forgiven us. Give them the strength to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. Help them to trust in you, Lord, and to know that you are working all things together for their good.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother or sister, as you navigate this difficult journey of forgiveness. We are truly honored that you have allowed us to stand in agreement with you in this spiritual battle.

If you have found peace and forgiveness in your heart, we would be delighted to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who are also struggling with forgiveness.

If, however, you find that this burden is still heavy on your heart, we want you to know that we are still here for you. Please share your updates with us. Let us continue to intercede on your behalf, praying that God's peace and forgiveness will reign in your heart.

We pray that God will bless you as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. May you find comfort and strength in His Holy Spirit. May God help you to forgive, not because what was done to you was acceptable, but because He has forgiven each of us much. We agree with you that any adverse impact on your health be reversed and any weapon formed against you not prosper. We have prayed for you and have asked God to heal your heart and mind so you do not hold anything against your ex colleagues and boss any longer. May God take away your unforgivenness toward them (and yourself) and replace it with love for them. We come into agreement with the Word of God that states'Darkness is not dark to you, Lord. The night is as light to you as the day.' We ask that you reveal to our dear friend what is holding them in this darkness and keeping them from forgiveness. What is at the foundation, the root, the generational issues, etc. that needs to be dealt with first? Lead our friend on a journey of discovery, healing, deliverance, and forgiveness. We pray for the Holy spirit to guide our friend and to aid them in this journey. We agree that our Lord Jesus is victorious over this issue in our friend's life and will bring them to a place of complete forgiveness and love for all.

May God open your heart so that you can move on in His peace, love, joy, and forgiveness. We come against those spirirts that have you bound in unforgiveness and release and bind you free with the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We speak in agreement with the Bible that you are healed, restored, delivered, and set free from all negative thoughts, actions, and emotions that could cause you emotional and physical harm. We bind up those things that are not from God and loose the blessings of God, that all can see in you, the goodness, kindness, healing, and restoration of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God go before you and prepare the way as you move on in His love and forgiveness. We speak blessings of health, happiness, restoration, and wholeness with those around you, at work, in your home, and in this forum. May God's favor rest on you and His love and forgiveness be evident to all. Thank you Lord for our friend's request and for the victory that Jesus has won for them. May you be healed and whole again in Jesus Name.
