Forgiving Hurts

James 5:16

Have you ever worked on a project for other people, and when it was finished you hoped to be involved helping them understand what you put together, only to find out that it was given to someone else with out any instructions?  Did that action hurt you? 

That can definitely hurt and affect you in dealing with people and it is a hurt that you may hold onto for some time.  –Did you know that hurts we hold on to, can also affect our hearing from the Lord?  They can.

When a hurt happens, the Bible says to confess our faults one to another and pray that you might be healed.  James 5:16

Why not take those issues to the Lord and be open about them as you pray.  Ask for His help to forgive.  Clearing issues will help you hear better from the Lord.

Consider this prayer:  Father, I have a hurt from an incident that has affected me. Please help me to forgive.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
