Pray for Those Who Hurt You

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬-‭44‬ ‭KJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.44.KJV

Praying for someone does not mean saying that their behaviour is acceptable.

It means refusing to surrender your heart to hatred.

Pray:

“Lord, work in their heart. Work in mine. Protect my family. Bring truth into the light. Give me wisdom. Jesus, I find these people difficult to deal with. I cannot change them, but You can. I ask You to work in their lives and in mine. Remove bitterness from me and give me wisdom about how to respond. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will pray instead of plotting.

Don’t Let Fear Rule You

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/2ti.1.7.NKJV

When you feel that someone may be working against you, your mind can begin looking for danger everywhere.

Stop.

Breathe.

Return to what you actually know.

You don’t need to live in constant anticipation of the next incident.

Pray:

“Father, calm my mind. Where there is genuine danger, give me wisdom. Where there is uncertainty, give me patience. Where there is fear, give me peace. Help me live today rather than constantly anticipating tomorrow’s problems. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will be alert without living in fear.

Love Without Losing Boundaries

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.16.14.NKJV

Christian love doesn’t mean allowing unlimited access to your life.

You can be respectful without sharing your private thoughts. You can be generous without allowing yourself to be exploited. You can forgive while remaining appropriately cautious.

Pray:

“Lord, teach me what healthy Christian boundaries look like. Help me neither punish people nor expose myself unnecessarily. Let my boundaries be peaceful rather than vindictive. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I can love someone without giving them unlimited access to me.

God Will Deal With What I Cannot

“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.12.19.NKJV

You are not responsible for making sure another person receives what they deserve. That burden belongs to God.
Your responsibility is your own conduct.

Pray:
“Lord, I give You the things I cannot resolve. I release my desire to make everything fair myself. If I have been wronged, You know it. If I have misunderstood something, You know that too. Judge rightly and teach me to walk peacefully. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:
God is my defender; revenge is not my responsibility.

Watch Your Words

“Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.21.23.NKJV

When you are hurt, words can become weapons. Most of the time, speaking about the situation is not helpful.

You don’t have to give voice to every suspicious thought. Guard your thoughts and mouth.

Pray:

“Lord, put wisdom in my speech. Help me distinguish between facts and suspicions. Keep me from speaking in anger. Let my words be truthful, restrained and gracious. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will speak truth without voicing suspicion.

When You Cannot Defend Yourself

“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 KJV

You may sometimes feel that defending yourself would only make matters worse. That does not mean you are helpless.

God does not require you to win every argument or convince everyone of your innocence. There is no one innocent.

Pray:

“Father, You know the truth about me. When I cannot explain myself or when people misunderstand me, help me remain peaceful. If something needs to be exposed, let You expose it. If something needs to be corrected, show me how. I place my reputation in Your hands. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I don’t have to defend myself against everything.

Don’t Repay Evil With Evil

“Recompense to no man evil for evil.” Rom 12:17 KJV

When somebody hurts you, there can be a powerful temptation to hurt them back.

You don’t have to win the battle by becoming like the person who hurt you.

Pray:

“Lord, when I feel provoked, put a guard over my mouth and my actions. Don’t allow me to retaliate, gossip or deliberately hurt anyone. Give me strength to remain honourable even when I feel wronged. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will not become what has hurt me.

Wise as a Serpent, Harmless as a Dove

“Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matt 10:16 KJV

Jesus did not tell His followers to be gullible, He did not go around telling people all His problems. Christian love includes wisdom.

You can be courteous without revealing everything. You can forgive without restoring complete trust. You can keep your distance without becoming hostile.

Pray:

“Jesus, teach me Your wisdom. Show me when to speak and when to remain silent, when to trust and when to be cautious, when to draw near and when to establish distance. Keep me harmless in my actions while making me wise in my decisions. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

Kindness does not require naivety.

Guard Your Heart

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Prov 4:23 KJV

Protection begins inside you. Someone else’s behaviour does not have to determine whether you become angry, vindictive, fearful or consumed by the situation.

You can establish boundaries while keeping your heart clean.

Pray:

“Lord, guard my heart. Don’t allow hurt to become hatred or disappointment to become bitterness. Help me protect myself without becoming hard. Give me wisdom to establish appropriate boundaries while remaining loving. Amen.”

Christlike attitude:

I will protect my heart without poisoning it.

Angry article, but I think people are sick and tired of the evil injustices happening in the world. They’re sick of sin that rots away at their bones and at the core of society. With every evil deed excused in the name of empathy and a warped sense of love and understanding, society is collapsing further into hell on earth. But where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Thank God for JESUS who set us free from this world and its evil brainwashing. Thank God that He exposed our own sinful nature to us so that we may live free from the evil that so easily besets us.

Thank God for JESUS that those who perpetuate a “Lindsay Clancy” way of life, will eventually meet their maker on judgement day, when their evil deeds will be brought to light to burn in eternal hellfire and damnation if they don’t repent.

Thank God that HIS SPIRIT still hovers over the darkness to shine His light unto the lost and broken, to bring the hope of salvation to all the nations.

“They have exposed themselves for what they really are. For that I believe that these circumstances were ordained by God for our collective benefit. He can make good rise from an act of evil. Those children are in heaven with Him, but because of their sacrifice, the world now has a much clearer understanding of the cult of evil that is liberalism.”

Thank God for Lindsay Clancy
