All things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.— Romans 8:28 (AMPC)

Life is full of unjust situations that can create a great deal of pain for you, especially in your relationships with other people. You will experience some hurt and pain, but you don’t have to allow these experiences to destroy your happiness. You can’t always choose what happens to you, but you can choose how you respond to it.

If you’ve been hurt, God can take your bad experiences and make them work for your good. Believing this truth is a positive decision that can help stop your pain.

Choose to learn from the hurtful experiences instead of wasting your pain by allowing them to make you bitter. One way to do this is to overcome evil with good by making sure you don’t hurt others. It’s a good place to start!

Prayer Starter: Thank You, Father, for helping me take the hurtful experiences I’ve had and use them to help me grow and be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name, amen
