Your Question:
How do I forgive my doctor for not being able to fix me?
Answer:
Forgiveness can be a challenging concept, especially when it comes to someone who has let us down, like a doctor who couldn't fix us. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. But as Christians, we know that forgiveness is not just about the other person, it's about our own relationship with God. When we hold onto resentment and anger, it can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward. In the Bible, we see examples of forgiveness being offered to those who were broken and in need of healing. Jesus forgave the woman who was living an immoral life, and He healed the man who was paralyzed. These stories show us that forgiveness is not just a feeling, but a choice we make to release our burdens and trust in God's goodness. When we forgive, we're not saying that what happened was okay, but rather that we're choosing to let go of the hurt and pain, and to trust that God is working everything out for our good. So, how do we forgive our doctor for not being able to fix us? We start by recognizing that we can't fix ourselves, and that we need God's help. We pray for wisdom and guidance, and we ask God to heal us in His own time and way. We also remember that forgiveness is a process, and it may take time. But with God's help, we can learn to forgive and to trust in His goodness, even when things don't go as we planned.
