A Prayer About Pushing Back Against Wanting To Get Even

Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
I have been hurt by another person and I want to get even.
When I am damaged and broken by another person, I want to fix my brokenness by getting even with the person who hurt me.
However, in your will and in your grace, I know I must not want to get even or seek revenge.
In your love and in your grace, I beseech you to help me get rid of this desire to get even.
I affirm before you this hour, I know the idea of getting even is a false idea put into my mind by Satan and his forces of deception.
I affirm before you this hour, I know there is no true way of evening up the score by hurting another person.
I affirm before you this hour, I know there is no true way of getting even because hurting someone else does not take my own hurt away.
Touch me with your love so I can forgive.
Touch me with your presence so I can let go of the hurt.
Touch me with your acceptance so I can regain my wholeness and my humanity.
Touch me with your power so I may always do, say, and think only what is right in your eyes.
Above all else, push with me against the temptation seeking to take me away from you.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen
