We understand that you're going through a period of feeling bitter towards God, and we want you to know that you're not alone in your struggles. It's important to remember that God's goodness and love are unfailing, and He always works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. As it is written in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Now, let's address the feelings of bitterness you're experiencing. It's natural to feel upset when things don't go as we hope, but it's essential to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). What may seem like a loss now could be God's way of protecting you or preparing you for something greater.
In the meantime, we pray that God will fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, according to Colossians 1:9. We ask that the Holy Spirit will reveal to you the depth of God's love and goodness, as it is written in Ephesians 3:18-19, "That you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with bitterness. We ask that You reveal Your unfailing love and goodness to them in a tangible way. Help them to see that even in the midst of their struggles, You are working everything out for their good. Fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to spend time in God's Word and in prayer, seeking His face and asking Him to reveal His love to you. As you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Trust that He has a plan and a purpose for your life, and that He is always working for your good.
