Do you carry the weight of past hurts? Are anger and bitterness keeping you from experiencing true peace? This Wednesday Challenge is for you.

[00:00:12] boldly with God. Visit our website at walkinginstepwithgod.org for resources,

[00:00:30] it's time for the Wednesday Challenge. Is there someone in your life or in
[00:00:36] your past that has hurt you and you refuse to forgive? My message is for those
[00:00:42] of you who are holding on to bitterness or anger and refusing to forgive someone. I
[00:00:49] think we have all been there ruminating over the hurt and pain, reliving the
[00:00:55] trauma over and over in your mind and disbelief that you could be betrayed in
[00:01:02] the way that you were. My challenge for you today is to ask God to give you the
[00:01:08] strength to forgive. Ask God to put on your heart the way to find strength to
[00:01:14] forgive this individual for the wrongdoing and pain and suffering they
[00:01:20] caused you. Ask God to lead you to a pathway of peace and healing. It may
[00:01:30] take time but if you trust God and ask for his leading day by day he will lead
[00:01:36] you to a time in place where you have the ability to forgive in a way you
[00:01:42] thought you never would. Ask God to help you forgive today. Bless you. Thank
[00:01:55] you for listening. Please share this podcast with others if this message has
[00:01:59] blessed you. Consider becoming a supporter of Walking in Step with God to
