Resentment Prayer

I learned early on in OA that if I had a resentment toward someone, I was to pray for the individual to get everything that I wanted for myself. After praying for such a person, I found out recently that my prayer was answered.

The thing I wanted was to go back home and visit the small town in which I grew up. The individual I had prayed for did just that—visited our hometown and spent some time there.

Find the good and praise it. By the grace of God and this powerful program, my resentment has lessened.
