BITTERNESS

BITTERNESS: How do you know if you have an attitude of bitterness towards someone?

Bitterness can be harbored in the heart for any length of time. Usually bitterness is towards someone within the immediate family or close relations. Bitterness keeps alive hurtful incidents. Things that happened years ago are as fresh and alive in the memory as if they had only happened today. However, bitterness does not have to rule ones life. One can let it go if they choose to do so.

Prayer: "Father, I lay down my unmet expectations of _________ (fill in the names of people who have disappointed you). Father I release those who have disappointed me just like You forgive me when I disappoint you. In Jesus' name Amen."
