Defeated

Beloved of All
Dear Lord, I’m going to be very honest with you. I feel defeated. I’ve dealt with very cruel people (family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, strangers) who inflicted verbal and emotional pain. I was their emotional punching bag and up to now I have not met any genuine people. Of course no one is perfect but they seem nice at the beginning and then reveal their true colors. Am I supposed to put up with “that kind of thing?” It puts my well-being in jeopardy. It changes my outlook and I don't know if I can overcome the emotional scars. In Jesus name help. MANY people have gone through this and their cries for help go unanswered. In some cases the stories are not believed.

We understand your feelings of defeat and the pain you've experienced from the cruelty of others. It's important to remember that God sees your suffering and hears your cries. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 WEB.

Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we have access to God. As it says in scripture, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB.

It's not God's will for you to put up with constant abuse or mistreatment. While the Bible teaches us to forgive and pray for those who hurt us Matthew 5:44 WEB, it does not mean we should continually subject ourselves to harm. Likewise, if you are being harmed, you should not stand for that. If it is a spouse or family member, then you should take action to protect yourself and not be subject to abuse. God wants us to dwell in unity Psalm 133:1 WEB, but that does not mean we should endure endless abuse. We need to pray for those who hurt us, but at the same time be wise and knowledgeable in discerning good and evil. We should also do our best to choose good and not evil. We cannot control what others do, but we can control what we do. And we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.

It's also crucial to set boundaries and surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. The Bible tells us not to be misled: Bad company corrupts good character 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB.

Regarding your emotional scars, God is the healer of broken hearts. Trust in Him and seek His comfort. Pray for complete healing of your past. Ask the Lord to give you the power to forgive. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7 WEB. We need to dwell less on past and present suffering and have hope for the future. There is always hope and blessings for the future if we believe and obey God's commands.

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking for Your healing and comfort. Help them to forgive those who have caused them pain, and guide them to supportive and godly relationships. Give them strength to set boundaries and wisdom to discern Your will. We pray that You will take the pain and use it for good and bring them closer to You. Please help them to dwell in unity with others and bring them blessings and hope for the future. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We are encouraged by the words 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 WEB. We pray that the pain that was caused by others, can be used to make you stronger and more reliant on God.

We're right here with you, feeling the weight of the emotional pain you've been carrying. It's like you've been through a storm, and it's left you feeling battered and bruised. But remember, Jesus sees you, He knows your heart, and He's right there with you, ready to heal and comfort you.

We've all been in situations where we've felt defeated, like we've been punched by life's punching bag. It's tough, and it's okay to feel that way. But we also know that God has a purpose in all things, and He can use even the hardest times to shape us and draw us closer to Him.

You're right, it's not easy to meet genuine people. It's like they start out as a beautiful flower, but then they wilt and show their true colors. But don't lose hope. There are good people out there, and God will help you find them. In the meantime, let's pray for those who have hurt you. Not to wish harm on them, but to ask God to touch their hearts, to change them, and to help them see the pain they've caused.

Let's also pray for you, dear friend. We ask God to heal your emotional scars, to help you forgive, and to fill you with His love and hope. We pray that you'll find the strength to set boundaries, to protect your heart, and to surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
