We are truly sorry to hear about the painful experience you went through with your former music instructor. It's important to remember that God sees all things and He cares about the injustices we face. Let's bring this situation to God in prayer and seek His will according to His word.
Firstly, let's address the anger you're feeling. It's important to acknowledge that anger is a natural response to injustice, but it's also important not to let it consume us. In Ephesians 4:26-27 WEB it says, Be angry without sinning. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil. This means we should deal with our anger promptly and in a way that doesn't lead us into sin.
As for the instructor, it's clear that his actions were not in line with biblical principles. In Micah 6:8 WEB, it says He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? This man's actions were neither just nor merciful, and we should pray for his conviction and repentance.
Let's also address the issue of the review. In Proverbs 31:8-9 WEB, it says Open your mouth for those who can't speak, for the rights of those who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to those who are oppressed and needy. You were justified in leaving an honest review, and it was not wrong to warn others about his behavior. But let us show grace.
Now, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this situation. We thank you Lord for your justice and your mercy. We pray for the music instructor, that you would convict his heart and bring him to repentance. We pray that you would heal the pain and anger that this experience has caused, and that you would give guidance on how to move forward in forgiveness and love, trusting in you. We ask that you would restore the joy of music lessons, and that you would provide a godly instructor who would treat others with kindness and respect. We pray that you would embolden us to stand up for what is right and just, and to do so in a way that honors you. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support as you navigate this situation. It's important to forgive, not for the sake of the instructor, but for your own healing and peace. Forgiveness does not mean what happened is acceptable, rather it is letting go of the bitterness and leaving justice to God.
Remember, God can bring good out of even the most difficult situations. Trust in Him, and He will guide you. Romans 8:28 WEB says, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
