Forgiveness of loved ones and letting go

[Heartofsilver]

Hello everyone,

I remembered that after a crisis with my abusive family that occurred months ago while I was having severe psychiatric issue that almost everyone apologized for what they did to me. Which included my parent's being abusive and my boyfriend for acting harshly though they also added excuse such as "It was the devil" or "It was my medication" that made them act that way towards me. I also am asking for prayer when it come to forgiveness of myself for what I said and did to my parent's during those times. I'm still dealing with psychiatric issues, but it is definitely not as bad as months ago. Though I want to forgive them and let go of all that happened, I still want to remember to be as wise as a serpent and gracious as a dove towards them, and loving my family at a distance. My boyfriend has been helping me, my family, as well, but many times my family has shown me that I cannot trust them. Thank You Jesus for improvement, healing, and continued forgiveness, in Your Name we pray amen!

In terms of forgiveness it really helps to just stop thinking about ways others have hurt you. That ain't easy! But it can be done with consistent practice. You can quote Bible verses to counter the negativity every time. That gives a double blessing.

That mental treadmill is a trap, a kind of mental hamster wheel that the devil would love you to go round and round on. Further, anger, and overdone sadness, can lead to physical illness per research.

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind...."

Praying for your thoughts and heart to be at peace.
