Spitting fire and nails

Anonymous

Beloved of All
To Jesus my lord and Savior God the father and the the holy Spirit all honour and Glory. My prayer partners I am fit to be tir CC and FURIOUS by the betrayal again from someone I tried to help AND THEY ROBBED ME OF $###!!! I am spitting fire and nails. Oh but God said no bitterness or resentment. I leave him to handle this situation for me in Jesus name. I can not fast because I take meds that do not allow me to skip meals but right at this moment I want no food just restoration of my funds or the promise made to me to come for me. Oh God I am really really insulted and at a loss for words without using filthy communication. But oh I let the have both barrels believe me. I repent to the Lord for my mouth but not the meaning behind the betrayal oh God help me please in Jesus mighty name. With gratitude I make this petition Amen
 
We hear the fire in your words and the deep wound of this betrayal, and we stand with you before the throne of grace in Jesus name. To be robbed by someone you tried to help after trusting them is a cutting insult, and your anger is understandable. The Word says Be angry, and don't sin. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath Ephesians 4:26, and also So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God James 1:19-20. We thank God that you already know His voice telling you no bitterness or resentment, and that you have chosen to leave this in His hands.

We love your honesty about letting both barrels fly and then repenting for your mouth while still feeling the sting of the meaning behind it. God honors that repentance. His Word says Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear Ephesians 4:29. We rebuke together with you that filthy communication, not to condemn you, but because we know it does not reflect Christ and it can give the enemy a foothold. You did right to repent, and we rejoice that when we confess, He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us. At the same time we do not excuse the one who wronged you. What was done to you was theft and betrayal, and God sees it fully.

You are exactly right to release vengeance to the Lord. We are commanded Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. That does not mean what happened does not matter to God, it means justice belongs to Him and He will handle it far better than we can. We also hear the Lord warning you out of love, as He warns us all, 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 Ephesians 4:31-32. Bitterness is a root that will poison you long after the money is gone, see Hebrews 12:15, and we do not want that root to take hold in you. Forgiving does not mean saying the theft was okay or trusting that person again unwisely, it means releasing them to God's justice and freeing your own heart from the prison of resentment.

We also want to put your mind at ease about fasting. You take medication that does not allow you to skip meals, and you want no food right now out of distress. God does not ask you to harm your body to earn His answer. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and He understands your infirmity. Your prayer, your repentance, and your trust are a sacrifice He receives even without a fast. Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved Psalm 55:22. It is right to ask for restoration, and we ask with you for God to provide, whether by touching that person's heart to repay what was promised, or by His own provision in another way, for My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19.

We pray together now.

Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, we come before You with our brother or sister who is wounded, insulted, and furious. We thank You that You see this robbery and betrayal, nothing is hidden from You. We ask You to forgive our dear prayer partner for corrupt speech, cleanse the lips and the heart, and fill the mouth with grace. Lord, remove all bitterness and keep resentment from taking root. Give the peace that passes understanding to guard this heart and mind. We place this person who stole into Your hands, Lord, we ask You to convict them, bring them to repentance, and if it be Your will, move them to restore what was taken and fulfill what was promised. And Father, whether through that person or through Your own hand, we ask for restoration and provision for every need, for rent, for bills, for daily bread. Comfort Your child who is at a loss for words, let Your Holy Spirit intercede with groanings, and grant rest and calm in place of this fire and nails. Help us to walk in discretion which makes us slow to anger, and give glory by overlooking offense where we can, while also giving wisdom to set healthy boundaries and not be taken advantage of again. We leave vengeance to You and trust Your perfect justice and mercy. We thank You that we have access to You only through Jesus, and we rest in His finished work. In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.
 
Thank you for pouring out your heart so honestly. Being betrayed by someone you tried to help, and losing money you needed, would leave anyone feeling insulted and furious. We hear the fire in your words and also the humility in saying you repent for harsh words while still carrying the hurt underneath. That honesty matters to God.

Wanting to skip eating when you are this upset is understandable, and we are glad you are honoring the limits your medication places on fasting. Caring for your body while you walk through this is part of honoring God too.

We love that you want to leave this in God's hands rather than letting resentment take root. That choice is not a feeling that happens all at once. Often the decision to release the debt comes first, and the cooler emotions follow slowly as you keep turning it over to Him. Give yourself grace for that process.

One steady next step that may help when the anger cools a bit is to write down clearly what was promised, what was taken, and any messages or records you have, then share it with one wise, calm person you trust, a pastor or counselor, to pray and think through what wise, lawful next steps look like for you. No need to decide everything today.

Father, we lift our brother to You in Jesus name. You see the loss and the insult he feels. Calm his heart, guard his words, guide his decisions, and provide for his needs according to Your wisdom. Heal the sting of betrayal and keep him close to You. Amen.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
It is a grievous thing to be betrayed by one you sought to help, and to be robbed after showing kindness, and the soul that feels it is stirred to righteous anger. Your honest confession has been heard, both the fire of your indignation and the check of conscience that says bitterness and resentment must not be allowed to take root.

The Lord knows this sting, for He Himself was betrayed by one who had been entrusted with the bag and who lifted up his heel against Him. The betrayal of Christ shows us that the sin of man reached its height even against perfect love, and yet our Lord bore it and went to the cross. When you feel that bitterness rise, remember the bitterness He bore for you. There is a bitterness of mourning for sin that makes Christ very sweet, and that same godly sorrow takes away bitterness against our fellow men. When we have felt how much we offended God and how freely He has forgiven us, we say within ourselves, after this I must be gentle and tender and forgiving toward others, for how much was forgiven me.

You have done well to leave this matter in the hands of God, for vengeance belongs to Him and He will repay. To give both barrels in angry and filthy communication may give a moment of release, but it leaves a wound in your own conscience. You have repented for your mouth before the Lord, and hear this assurance, there is forgiveness with God. It is a divine forgiveness, I even I am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, surprising in its freeness, complete in its reach, and eternal in its promise. If you have trembled and desired forgiveness with a penitent heart, that forgiveness is yours through Jesus Christ, not because you have earned it but because He died the Just for the unjust to bring us to God. As He has forgiven you all your sins and continues daily to forgive, so you are called to that joint work of forgiving one another, not because the wrong was small, but because you have been so greatly forgiven.

You also said you cannot fast because of your medications, and that you have no appetite now. Do not be burdened by this. The Lord does not ask you to harm your body or to neglect the means needed to sustain it. He looks upon the heart that desires Him, and a prayer offered in weakness and even without food is heard when it is offered through Christ. What He desires is not the affliction of the body apart from faith, but a humble and trusting heart.

We will pray with you now to that end.

O Father, merciful and just, we come through Jesus Christ Your Son who was betrayed for us. Forgive Your servant for every hasty and unclean word, and wash the lips and the heart in the blood that speaks better things. Drive away all bitterness and resentment, lest any root of bitterness spring up to trouble the soul, and make Christ and His forgiveness very sweet and precious at this hour. We place this betrayal and this loss into Your hands. You see what was taken and what was promised, and You are the righteous Judge. Work justice according to Your perfect wisdom, provide for every need, and restore what in Your goodness You see fit to restore, whether by returning what was lost or by supplying in another way from Your abundant hand. Keep this wounded heart from despair, guard the mouth, and grant peace that passes understanding, that having first received forgiveness, there may follow healing and quiet trust. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus our Lord and Savior, to whom with You and the Holy Spirit be all honour and glory. Amen.

Be steadfast in casting your care upon Him, and ask Him daily for grace to forgive as you have been forgiven, while trusting Him to handle what you cannot.
