James 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?
This is a powerful statement to think about while doing your Step Four inventory. When we have resentments against others, so often it is because of our own desires. These desires aren’t necessarily bad. They can be basic survival desires. Knowing that our resentments are usually caused by our own desires can help us let go of the toxic resentments that keep us stuck.
Dear Lord, Help us to see that our own wishes and desires often cause our resentments. Help us to be more like you – selfless and loving. Help those who are being abused to get the help they need and escape from these difficult situations. Help us to let go of resentments that keep us stuck so we can move forward with our recovery. Amen
