8 Questions to Ask Yourself When dealing with Bitterness

When dealing with injustice and bitterness, ask yourself these questions:

1. Am I trusting God to use this bad situation for my good (Romans 8:28)?

2. Am I depending on God for peace (John 16:33)

3. Am I depending on God's strength, not my own (Ephesians 3:20-21)? 

4. Am I reminding myself of good things in my life (Philippians 4:8)?

5. Am I praying for those who've mistreated me and refusing to commit Epicaricacy (Romans 12:14-21)?

6. Am I resisting Satan's lies and temptations (1 Peter 5:8-9)?

 

7. Do I understand that bitterness damages me and affects the people around me (Hebrews 12:15)? 

 
8. Am I reminding myself that I can and should forgive others because Christ forgave me (Ephesians 4:32)?

 

Bitterness has ruined many lives, but God can use it to gives us strength and maturity...if we depend on Him and not on ourselves.
