Today we will see from the Bible how we can find comfort in God’s word and overcome that feeling when someone hurts our feelings. I hope if you liked this topic today, you will share it with others.
Dear friends, when someone hurts our feelings, anger and bad behavior often come out. It is normal because we are human so we also have a limit to endure. But when we spend time with God and meditate on God’s word, God prepares our hearts in such a way that we are ready to endure everything because the Bible teaches us to love and pray for our enemies.
When we are hurt, friends, you should remember one thing: prayer is the greatest means by which we can bring our pain to God and ask God for peace and healing power. The Bible tells us that God is always with those who are really hurting and those who are broken inside. He protects them.
The Word of God teaches us what we should do when someone upsets or disappoints us. The Bible tells us not to be quick to anger in such situations and to maintain peace. That does not mean that we should accept injustice or let injustice grow, but rather try to handle the situation with a little patience.
The Bible tells us to let go of anger when we have received forgiveness from God, we should forgive others. And think about what is good and beautiful. When dealing with emotional pain, it takes faith and patience to trust in God’s plan.
Sometimes we cannot understand why such pain happens to us, but we can trust that God is on our side and for us
He always does something good.
Dear friends, let us now look into God’s word and see how much God is there for those who are struggling with heartache and how God’s strength comes to comfort us in times of trouble.
