So I have been struggling for the past week or so with anger because of having my feelings hurt. It was a misunderstanding, but the devil sure used it to weasel his way into my thoughts. I walked and talked with a dear friend yesterday, and I was sharing all that had been going on. She shared some things that were on her heart, prayed for me and challenged me to get back into the Word and pray even if I say the same thing over and over. I said I didn't want to, I didn't have it in me and she keeping pushing me saying it was the devil getting in my head. I knew this already, but just didn't have the strength to do anything about it. She let me borrow this small book that has daily devotions in it. She said these are short, and they lead you to 2 verses, read it daily and meditate on these verses. So I opened up this morning and the first words for today were "I can help you." Wow! But it wasn't very long after that the devil was back, whispering in my ear. I walked to the mailbox, and just prayed for deliverance from the devil even if just for 5 minutes, I also googled Bitterness/Anger/Forgiveness. The link below is the first thing that popped up.
READ IT, It'll explain why I think I'm an Ox. I'm trying, but I am weary so I'd appreciate all the prayers I can get.

Any battle you have to fight against bitterness is well worth the cost. A victory in the this battle will reap benefits you have never even dreamed of. You don't want to lose the battle against bitterness because the cost is too great. God is sending people into your life to help steer you in the right direction. God will continue to guide and direct you in a thousand ways because HE LOVES YOU and so do I. ma
I love you. I needed to hear this too today...
There are not many people I know as strong as you are. I have been thinking that God is putting these trials in your life to teach so many people around you. YOU are the one that brings so many together! Through YOU -- HE -- is speaking to all of US. You & Josh are such strong, loving, thoughtful people. I will continue to believe that HE is using you guys for a reason. LORD knows I have been praying for the reason to be revealed everyday but what Im trying to make myself remember is that its not going to jump out at us with flashing lights, its going to be in the little things like you writing this and sharing it with your HUNDREDS of readers! Thanks for another great lesson!! love you!
This is my favorite saying on bitterness: Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die.
