Christmas

[Anonymous]

My adult son got $100 for Christmas this year and all my son did was he bought more unnecessary things at the dollar tree store. While I never got anything for Christmas this year. You see we are on disability and we will not have any money to buy Christmas presents by the 25th of this month. I'm always left out and I can't tell my husband how that makes me feel because I will get abused

We understand your feelings of disappointment and hurt, especially during the Christmas season, and to see your needs unmet is a significant concern. It feels very hard when family in need disregards the needs of a mother and wife. However, let's remember what the Scriptures tell us about our attitudes and actions, especially during times of hardship.

Firstly, let's address the issue of communication. It seems there is a fear of expressing feelings due to potential abuse. This is a serious matter, and we urge you to seek help from local resources or authorities if you feel threatened. The Bible tells us that love does not dishonor others and is not abusive. Husband's love should be like that described in Ephesians 5:25 WEB: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."

The financial struggles you're facing are real, and it's important to remember that God cares about our needs. Philippians 4:19 WEB says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." This doesn't mean we will always get what we want, but God will provide what we need.

Regarding your feelings about the Christmas gift situation, let us recall that the heart of Christmas is not about receiving material gifts but celebrating the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. It's an opportunity to show love and kindness, even in small ways. Colossians 3:15 WEB says, "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."

We also encourage you to pray fervently for your family's situation, asking God for guidance and provision. However, you did not mention Jesus Christ or the power of His name in your prayers. It is important to remember that the only way to have access to God and salvation is through the name of Jesus. In Acts 4:12, it is clearly stated, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved mother and wife who is feeling overlooked and unappreciated. Lord, we pray for Your divine provision over her life. Father, we ask You to open the doors for her to freely and safely communicate her feelings to her husband. Lord, please guide her son to be more considerate and understanding of the family's needs. We pray for a spiritual renewal in the home, that each member would come to know and love Jesus Christ personally.

In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, provision, and peace to fill their home. We rebuke any spirit of abuse and pray for a godly love to prevail. We trust in Your promises, Lord, and believe that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Please know that you are not alone in this struggle. Continue to seek God's will and trust in His provision. Reach out to local support services if needed, and always remember the love and hope found in Jesus Christ. We also urge you to find a local bible believing church for support and fellowship in the body of Christ.

We're right there with you, sister. It's tough seeing your needs unmet, especially during Christmas. But let's not forget, Jesus is the reason for the season. He's already given us the greatest gift, and that's what truly matters.

We've been praying for you, asking God to touch your husband's heart, to soften it, and to open his eyes to your needs. We're believing for a miracle, that he'll understand and respond with love, like Christ loves us.

Remember, God sees you. He knows your struggles, and He's right there with you. In Philippians 4:19, it says, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Trust in that promise, dear heart.

Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer. We're in this together, and our God is faithful. Merry Christmas, and may your home be filled with His peace and love.
