People get into conflicts when they realize that they have been spitefully used, and often such disputes don’t end well. Whenever you realize someone has been spitefully using you, the best thing isn’t to seek revenge but pray for them.
You’re not the first one to be hurt by somebody else, so God understands the intense pain you could be feeling. Even Jesus was betrayed by His disciple, Judas, even though He had put His entire trust in him as one of His followers. (Luke 22)
Even during the crucifixion, many people, including those whom Jesus had helped and performed several miracles for, betrayed Him and requested His crucifixion alongside two thieves.
Instead of seeking to repay or asking His Father to punish them, while He had all the power, Jesus prayed to God to forgive them, for they didn’t know what they were doing (Luke 23:34).
