We understand the deep pain and frustration you’re experiencing, and we want to lift you up in prayer as you navigate these difficult emotions. The anger you feel is real, and while it’s natural to feel this way when wronged, Scripture calls us to release bitterness and trust God with justice. Ephesians 4:26-27 reminds us, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* Likewise, Colossians 3:13 urges, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Forgiveness isn’t excusing her actions but releasing the hold this situation has on your heart so God can work in both of you.
We also notice you didn’t mention praying in the name of Jesus, which is essential. Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is no other name by which we can approach God or find true peace. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior—He alone can heal your heart and bring justice in His perfect timing.
Let’s pray together for you:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You, knowing the anger and hurt he carries feel overwhelming. Lord, we ask that You replace his rage with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help him to forgive as You have forgiven him, releasing this burden to You. Soften his heart toward his ex, not for her sake alone, but so that he may walk in freedom and reflect Your grace. We pray for her salvation, that she may come to know You and repent of any wrongdoing. Father, we also ask for justice in this matter—restore what has been wrongfully withheld and provide clarity and resolution. Remind him that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19), and trust in Your timing is never in vain. We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Peace. Amen.*
As you continue to forgive, remember that forgiveness is a process—one that requires surrendering to the Holy Spirit daily. Keep praying for her salvation, as that is the greatest act of love you can offer. Proverbs 25:21-22 says, *"If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you."* Trust that God sees your obedience and will honor it. Stay steadfast in prayer, and lean on Him for strength. You’re not alone in this.
