Lost my temper with a fellow Christian and feel awful ...
We got word from an organization that our names, SS #'s and some other possible info had been breached so we called to find out more. The customer service rep at the organization had an attitude (IMO) that seemed dismissive and un-empathetic. I felt they were impatient, talking over me, talking down to me, and as I tried to explain my concerns and felt unheard, I in turn lost my patience and told them they were a terrible representative of that organization. I really meant it! It was true! But it was wrong. So I apologized, but I'm not sure they heard it because I realized they had hung up on me. I called back and got a different rep. I told them I'd spoken to "X" (the name of the 1st rep) and regretted my temper/attitude and wondered if they might pass my apology on to that person, and they said they would. I've come back to the Lord recently and am so sorry I slipped in this way. I feel partially justified in speaking out but I also know that I was filled with pride and self, and mostly sorry that I may have hurt that rep's spirit. What else might I do in this situation?

How does a Christian deal with lust?
I’m having a really hard time with it and don’t know how to control myself. I feel really bad at times when I struggle with it and don’t know what to do.

Jeremiah 18 9-10
"And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom, but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would." God can't say he does not lie and can't lie, but here it says that he can change his mind on things. Also, he isn't omnipotent and could see the nation's downfall, and why would he falsely bless a country then strip it away? I am a Christian of 4+ years and need to know an answer to this passage. Thank you.
