“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to Him.” (Psalm 28:7 ESV)
When anger toward someone who wronged you makes your sleep
fitful and broken, try turning your mind and heart to prayers of gratitude.
Begin by giving thanks for each good thing from that day; then move to the
larger blessings of your life. When you refuse to pursue revenge and create
less vengeful “movies of the mind,” you still may experience pain at the
injustice of life. Life’s unfairness will continue to grate. You will know the
price of refraining from retaliation. But you have begun to balance life’s
harsh realities with its goodness and blessing.
