Trying to let things go

The pump guy ripped up my property and has promised to put it back together again for over 6 months now
He has promised multiple times to correct it
and the winter is coming and the ground will soon freeze
The landscaper who built the French Drain to reroute the water
from seeping under my house built it incorrectly
He built it above grade and the water does not drain properly
but sits and overflows where it should not
He hung up on me and told me not to ever ask him to do anything again
The window guy did not put flashing where he should have
and I do not want to ask him to correct it
because he did a drug deal at my property
I have another contractor who did a half-baked job on the electrical
And I am asked to forgive
My only recourse is to sue
Turn the other cheek
Trust God to work all things together for good

It is very difficult
The electrician has not yet been paid fully,
so if he wants the rest of his money,
he will need to complete his work
I should have done that with the others

What really I should care about is their souls
Since they are not honest, they probably do not know the Lord well
I should be praying for them
One of the guys has a noose hanging from a tree outside of his house
And he told me he wasn’t planning to run me over, with a chuckle,
when I was walking my dog on the road
I was not amused
Most likely he has not met the Lord
I need to forgive and pray for his soul
God will provide for me to pay extra money
to have someone else do the work these persons should have done
They will be repaid by the Lord God above

Letting things go can be so hard
Trusting God to work things together for good
How can that be?
No matter what people do to us,
we must hand it over to Jesus who doeth all things well

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 
For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:13-15

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath:
for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:19

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:18
