Growth: Overcoming Wrath, Bitterness, and Unforgiveness

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this transformative 21-day Bible study on Growth. This plan focuses on the deep, often hidden roots of wrath, bitterness, and unforgiveness in our hearts, inviting you to embark on a journey of emotional and spiritual healing through God’s Word. Wrath and bitterness can act like toxic roots, choking out the fruitfulness God desires for us in love, peace, and joy. By intentionally dealing with these issues, you open yourself to God’s restoring power and gain freedom that leads to genuine growth.

Throughout these 21 days, you’ll encounter foundational Scriptures that address anger, bitterness, and forgiveness. We’ll carefully examine how harboring resentment stunts spiritual maturity and what it means to truly forgive—not just others but also ourselves. You’ll be encouraged to honestly evaluate your heart while receiving the grace and practical wisdom to heal old wounds. Embracing forgiveness is not always easy, but God calls us to release the chains of wrath for our own flourishing and to reflect His love.

Growth isn't about perfection or denial of difficult feelings; it is a courageous process of confronting what divides us internally, inviting God's healing, and walking in freedom rooted in love. As you engage this plan, prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit to reveal hidden bitterness and help you to lay it down at the feet of Jesus. Let this be a sacred time of nurturing your soul and deepening your relationship with God.

May these days rooted in Scripture, reflection, and prayer produce lasting fruit—peace where there was unrest, forgiveness where there was offense, and love where there was wrath. Your spiritual growth is a journey worth taking, and God walks with you every step. Let’s begin this path to freedom and growth together.
