I am new to this forum and decided that i need a support system to get me through my current struggle. I need prayers that god will help me to forgive. A little back ground on my situation... I was deployed last year and war changed me inside and out. When i got back, i was depressed, withdrawn and otherwise neglected my family. My way of coping with my depression was to play an online video game as sad as that sounds. Eventually, my wife started playing too and eventually she cheated on me with someone she met playing this game...i found out and i went to jail for domestic abuse because of my frame of mind...i'm not a violent person, i was just angry, hurt, and confused on top of being depressed. I later was diagnosed with PTSD and i guess this is the reason I was not myself upon return home.

We are back together and working things out but i find myself in the struggle to forgive both her AND him. I don't trust her anymore and I'm having a hard time letting go of what happened. I cannot seem to get over my anger and desire for vengeance against him and i feel bound which is making me miserable and also impeding my efforts to work things out with my wife. I feel like a prisoner to my anger and rage and i want to forgive both her and him to be set free from this demon. It seems like everytime i am doing well, something happens to cause the vicious cycle to begin anew. For example, things were good until a few days ago when i got an email from the man she cheated with...he had nothing good to say, only talking garbage and rubbish which set me back to what feels like i'm re-living it all in my head from the beginning. All i want is peace and the strenghth to overcome. I have prayed and prayed and i feel better when i do but it eventually subsides and once again the sinful thoughts return. I feel almost hopeless. Please pray for me and my wife and for the man she cheated with so that we may all be happy, forgive and repent, and that we will be able to reconcile and have a strong marriage.:amen: Please feel free to drop me a few messeges to offer some insight or suggestions or reply to this post. God Bless You.

My Son, Jesus gave you authority, When You got Born Again, baptized in water and the Holy spirit, in the Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, a lot of powerful things happened. Now I don't know what happened while you were away, but obviously, something powerful happened there too, however, nothing the devil can do is as powerful as what Jesus did when you got Born again. This may become a long post because it is important for you to know what happened that day.
On that Day, you were Forgiven of all the sin in your life, that is everything you said and did that you should not have said and did. You also were Forgiven for all the things that you didn't do or say that you should have said and did. Didn't Fill your heart with Peace, with Love, and with Joy. Remember? So I say to you, forgive them so that God can do this for them too, and then you can settle again.
Now, on that day,when you got Born Again, God took all your unrighteousness from you, and He also imparted to you His Righteousness.
He also Gave you Power. The Power of The Holy Spirit came on you, and I believe, in you. Power to Heal, power to deliver, power to break yokes, power to break the cords of bondage, power to set captives free, and power to do many other things that as human beings it would otherwise be impossible for you to do. Then in Mathew 10:10, the bible tells us that Jesus gave us Authority to use this Power to do all these things. So, I suggest that you come to Jesus again, and ask Him to forgive you for not recognizing this and exercising the Authority He gave you and ask Him to give you another chance. He is very gracious, and full of compassion. He is faithful and just to forgive. Rise up young man and fight back, but remember, you don't fight against flesh and blood, but against powers, principalities of the air and all kinds of spiritual wickedness in high places. This is why we need to pray in tongues. This is why tongues IS for today.

I prayed for you and will continue to do so. There is something I want you to know. This is not all your fault. The temptation of Satan is strong and you cannot be blamed for the devil's power. Everyone deals with these anger issues and you should not feel as though you have failed because of them. It is not hopeless. If it were, you would not be here now seeking help. Seek first the will God. Do not pray for God to make things better, but pray to God that you may live your life in a way that brings Him glory. Pray to God and ask Him to allow you to show His glory to the world and to glorify Him even more. When that becomes your purpose and passion then you will find the desire, the anger will fade away. The kingdom of God is your home, be blessed in it and find comfort and peace there. Glory to God and may His peace be with you always. Amen.
