Getting over extreme disappointment

[StartedAtEly]

Last year I experienced a shattering disappointment. I very narrowly missed out on a promotion that would have dramatically increased my salary. In fact it would have multiplied my salary several times over. I have been told I will have to wait several years for another attempt, and deeply resent this.

For the past year I have been totally poisoned with bitterness, and deeply envious of a colleague who did get the promotion. I have also been having very negative and unkind thoughts about the people I blame for me missing out on the promotion. I still work in the organisation, and often catch myself deeply resenting my situation. There has not been a single day in the last year I have not thought extremely bitterly about the promotion.

I have also felt the spiritual consequences, and have had to catch myself at times as un-Christian thoughts enterred my headed.

Can anyone pray for me and/or advise me on what to do?

Praying for you, brother.
God has a plan for your life, and whilst sometimes we don't understand why things happen the way they do, there is a purpose in it all.
Try to give it to God and trust Him to bring things about in His time (I know that's easy to say, and very hard to do... but He will help you if you ask...)

Thanks guys, but this bitterness is really eating me up

Still praying, brother.
Do you have someone you can talk to and pray with about this - your pastor perhaps?
