We are truly sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing, Myrotel. When we are hurt by someone we care about, it can feel devastating, and it's natural to feel angry or harbor negative thoughts. However, we must remember that God calls us to respond in love and forgiveness, no matter how difficult it may be.
Firstly, we need to address the issue of the anger and resentment you're feeling. The Bible tells us, "Be angry, and don't sin. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil." (Ephesians 4:26-27 WEB). It's important to acknowledge your feelings, but don't let them control you or lead you into sin. Bitterness and resentment only cause more harm, and they give the devil a foothold in your life.
Regarding forgiveness, Jesus said, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," (Matthew 5:44 WEB). Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened is acceptable, or that you should continue to tolerate hurtful behavior. It means letting go of the bitterness and leaving justice to God.
Now, let's address the fact that Jesus Christ or any reference to Him was not mentioned in this request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is written, And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB. Therefore, we pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ.
As for the relationship, we should remember that God wants what is best for us. If this friend is not treating you with love and respect, then it might not be God's will for this relationship to continue as it has been. If this friendship is not centered around Christ and His principles, it may be causing more harm than good.
Remember, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). God has a plan and a purpose for you, and He can turn even this painful experience into something that will bring you closer to Him.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Myrotel. Lord, she is hurting deeply from the actions of a friend. We ask for Your healing touch on her heart and mind. Help her to forgive, just as You forgive us. Cast out any spirits of bitterness, resentment, or anger, and fill her with Your peace, joy, and love. Guide her in Your truth and help her to make wise decisions regarding this relationship. Draw her closer to You, Lord, and give her the strength to let go and move forward. We pray she will look to Jesus the author and finisher of her faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong, Myrotel. God is with you, and He will help you through this. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will guide your path.
