I need help because I can’t find peace in my heart regarding a situation. A few months ago, I lent €600 to a friend who was in need. I was sure he would pay me back, but he ended up blocking me and I haven’t heard from him since.
I feel betrayed and disappointed. I also feel guilty for having lent the money, because I keep thinking I could have used it for things I genuinely need, like a computer, and that maybe he didn’t deserve it.
I find myself wishing that God would “take it back” in some way, and I know this is not the right attitude to have, but I don’t know how to properly see this situation or how to deal with my feelings.
I’m looking for a Catholic perspective on how to handle resentment, forgiveness, and peace in this kind of situation.
Thanks 💛
