Rejection

 

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,

and pray for them which despitefully use you,

and persecute you."

 

Matthew 5:44

 

Lord, help me to not base my joy or happiness on what others think about me.  Let me not be resentful or offended toward others, no matter what they may say or do to me.

 

Help me to not be discouraged or become emotionally distraught because of a suffered wrong.  Heal my heart and emotions, Lord.  Fill my soul with your love, joy, and peace.

 

I refuse to be bitter or angry.  I choose to walk in love and forgiveness.  I will pray for those who have hurt and rejected me.  Lord, speak to their hearts and minister to them.  I will not retaliate or hold a grudge, but I cast the care of this situation over on You.  I will not speak evil of them or gossip about them.

 

I thank You, Lord, that You will never leave me or forsake me.  You are my best friend.  You uphold me, You sustain me, and You have accept me.  Even though I may have been rejected by an individual, I know that I am accepted by You.  Thank You for accepting me.

 

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen

 

"Casting all your care upon him;

for he careth for you."

 

1 Peter 5:7

 

". . . he hath said, I will never leave thee,

nor forsake thee."

 

 Ephesians 6:13
