God wants to free you

"Such a way seems right in front of a man, but in the end it is the way of death." Proverbs 14.12

Have you ever seen a wounded animal in captivity get treated by a veterinarian ? The practitioner only seeks to help, but the animal does not understand. He thinks only of his pain, and he assaults the person who wants to help him. Maybe it is possible that you are in the same situation today ?

"God alone can make your future more peaceful."

People who call themselves Christians have hurt you. You did not think they could hurt you that much. You suffer so much that you can no longer trust anyone, not even God.

You do not say clearly : "God, I do not trust you anymore," but your actions speak louder than your words. You are no longer looking for an answer in the Bible. You do not want to pray anymore and you refuse to be prayed for. You try to escape in the work. You go from relationship to relationship. You taste alcohol and drugs. You spend hours in front of the TV or on the Internet to see images that violate your conscience and increase your discomfort. What is the solution ?

1. Turn to God. "Unload on him all your worries, for he takes care of you" (1 Peter 5.7). Entrust him your sorrows, your failures, your complexes and your challenges.

2. Forgive those who have hurt you. If you remain obsessed with their mischief and seek revenge, you will be further enchained (e) them. But forgiveness breaks this chain and frees you.

An action for today

You may be able to ease your pain on your own, but only God can destroy its root and make your future more peaceful.
