Bible Question: how can i control my anger with a friend of mine for 10 years for betraying our trust in funds, loyalty,and thief? |
Bible Answer: First you must confess your anger as sin to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. After a cooling off period when you feel you have your anger in control with the Lord's help call the person and tell them how much they hurt you. Express your forgiveness for what they did to you in whatever words you chose such as you don't hold it against them or whatever you feel appropriate. You could also tell them that you are holding them accountable and expect the funds to be repaid as that would be the right thing to do. During this time they may tell you why they did what they did and give you a better understanding of what they were thinking. You will feel better and have peace knowing you did what the Lord commands by forgiving this person and having this talk makes peace with them. Commit them into the Lord's hands to deal with their sin. You can then move on with your life and have a clean conscience knowing you did what you were suppose to do. Pray a lot about it and give yourself a little time for the hurt to mellow before you call them so you can control yourself.
