God, I know being offended is a choice that we make. Yes, someone may do or say something bad to or about us, and that is an offense, but if we react wrongly to that offense, we are offended, and therefore wrong. I know that sounds weird, but it is true, if we choose not to be offended, we live in the grace of God and you will take care of things when we are wronged. But if we choose to be offended by the wrongdoings of others, we take actions that cause more trouble in the long term. Our best bet is to choose to let things go, and allow you to avenge our wrongdoers. Yes it may be hard to do because our natural tendency is to get even with those that harm us.
Lord, I have to say that even though it is hard to do, I forgive the person that hurt me, even though they could not tell me themselves… I also release my right to anger towards them. God, help me to live in your light, more and more. Amen

Dude - that's open. I appreciate your candidness (is that a word?).
