I don’t know what to title this request.

A week ago on Saturday, something happened with a friend that affected me negatively. On Monday, I emailed the guy back and forth but within that Sun-Wed, God revealed a few things to me and showed me he didn’t do anything wrong.

From this past Fri-today, I’ve been asking God to help me write him to tell him what God has revealed to me about that situation yet I don’t feel like messaging him or talking to him about this yet and I have absolutely no idea what to write or how to write it.

All I can think is, does God not want me to write to him yet?

Asking prayer for this situation. For peace and the desire to message this guy and make it right. He was in the right. It just took me a few days to figure it out. I need to message him today. I know he never meant to hurt me and only chose what he thought was right and he did make the right choice which I know now

Just b honest with him is the best bet, I'm sure we all have made those mistakes and just need to settle them quickly so we don't torment ourselves. 'The truth shall set us free'.

In my opinion God has given you sufficient common sense and a certain measure of wisdom to handle these types of everyday situations that you find yourself in and allows you the freedom to act accordingly without having to resort to a exhaustive scriptural analysis of what to do next.

If possible, just simply meet with this friend and apologize and ask for his forgiveness. If you do write a letter I would not mention what God revealed as he would probably much prefer that the words come from your heart and that you are not being coerced by God to write or say those things.

I will once again say a prayer for God to work on providing you with a positive self-image as I believe that it is your low self-esteem that seems to be the root cause that effects your decision making process.

You have to accept also that not everything can be made right, that the choices you make have consequences. In these instances give this to God and start moving boldly forward in a positive way in your life.

Hopefully, this is not one of those instances that cannot be made right. Live and learn.

I did. God had given me peace and everything went smoothly. We started talking again. God really worked in me last week and I learned a lot. I have no more anger towards what happened. I have been praying for him more though. But tourist is right. I do have low self esteem Sometimes and I’m sometimes afraid to tell someone something thinking it’s the wrong thing when I’m reali it’s probably the good/right thing to say

So excited to see that you were able to resolve this with your friends, and learn in the process! :)

It’s good of you to share your situation with this friend and it’s nice that you were able to resolve it. I’m praying that God will surround you with His love, comfort and provide guidance as you lean upon Him. Grace and peace to you!
