it does not matter what the devil throws your way.
God can handle it.
You may not be able to do so.
But He can!

How To Be Free From Bitterness and Resentment
Life depression and other emotional stress, bitterness and resentment can aggravate or cause physical problems such as arthritis. You can be affected mentally, spiritually and otherwise. Your relationships will always suffer.
God can free you from this sin.
It is an oppressive and destructive emotion having
its root in hate, which is likened to murder.
You must repent.
No one can have peace and happiness with such emotions tearing at him. If you have not done so, ask God to forgive you and to come into your life right now.
He will deliver you from the power of the enemy
(Psalm 91:3).
NEVER!!! CLAIM you are going
to Heaven if
YOU REFUSE TO OBEY CHRIST JESUS
in his "Love Commandment"!
When we CANNOT do it,
we SPEAK and say:
TAKE it LORD- I know You want it!
Luke6:32 "Do you think you deserve credit merely for loving those who love you?
Even the sinners do that!
When you are offended or disappointed by others and allow the hurt
to germinate in your heart, bitterness and resentment will take root.
Characterized by an unforgiving spirit and generally negative,
critical attitudes, bitterness and resentment are sinful and self-defeating.
They will color your conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.
Allowed to fester, they will destroy and kill (Galatians 5:19-21).
However,
they can be dispelled with love!!!
Pray in this manner:
Father, I acknowledge that I've held resentment and bitterness against _______________.
I confess this as sin and ask you to forgive me. I forgive __________________.
Remind me, Lord, to not hold any more resentments, but rather to love this person.
Father, I ask you to also forgive ______________________.
