Have you been hurt by someone?
When someone hurts me, especially if it is deliberately, I get angry. It is easy to feel I am being put down or seen as less than. And I want revenge! I want them to suffer as much as I have. But then these verses from Romans 12 come to mind. God says, "Vengeance is mine." But I want to see them suffer. "Do good to those who hurt you." It takes faith to follow those instructions. Let's pray for ourselves and others that we allow evil to be conquered by our doing good.
Book Excerpt
Praying for BIG Things
Revenge
H elp each person to do his or her part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible. Help people to never take revenge themselves but leave that to you, O God. For you have said, “I will take vengeance; I will repay those who deserve it.” Instead, cause people to do what the Scriptures say. If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them a drink, and they will be surprised with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of them but conquer evil by doing good.
LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Based on Romans 12:18-21
