Connection with the revenge of Dinah’s brothers
When someone wrongs you or someone you love, tell God what happened before you decide what to do. Paul told the believers in Rome, "Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God's wrath" (Romans 12:19). Write down what you brought Him and what He gave you back, a verse or an encouragement weighed with others, in the Doxa app, and read it again when anger starts to make the plan.
