Romans 12:19 — “Do not take revenge. Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord.”

This verse reminds us that justice ultimately belongs to God, not to our hands. When hurt or wronged, the impulse to repay can feel powerful, but surrendering that urge is an act of faith: trusting God to make things right and to heal what we cannot fix. Letting go of revenge frees our hearts from bitterness and opens space for compassion, patience, and the quiet strength that reflects Christ’s love. Holding our pain before the Lord invites His wisdom and restores our peace.

Short Prayer

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help me release the need to repay wrongs and to trust Your righteous care. Fill my heart with patience, soften my anger, and guide my steps toward forgiveness and peace. Teach me to leave vengeance in Your hands and to live by Your mercy. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.
