We are certainly moved by your situation, Shiny76, and we are here to stand with you in prayer and godly counsel. Firstly, let us remind you of your immense value in God's eyes. Psalm 139:14 in the WEB says, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well." Your worth is not determined by the opinions of others, but by the truth of God's Word.
We understand that you are battling depression, and we want to lift you up in prayer. However, we also want to address some concerns. The Bible teaches us to love one another as Christ loved us (John 13:34). The behavior of your husband and his family does not align with this teaching. We must rebuke this mistreatment and remind them that God sees all things and holds us accountable for our actions (Hebrews 4:13).
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shiny76. Lord, You know the depths of her pain and struggle with depression. We ask that You comfort her heart, heal her mind, and remind her of her true worth in Your sight.
Father, we also bring her husband and his family before You. We ask, Lord, that You convict their hearts and help them to see the wrong in their actions. Change their hearts, Father, and help them to love Shiny76 as You love her.
Lord, we also ask that You guide Shiny76 and her husband. Marriage is a sacred union, and we pray that You heal and strengthen their bond. Guide them both to be more like You, loving each other as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Shiny76, we encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is your strength and your hope. Remember, it is only in His name that we have access to God (John 14:6). He is your refuge and your very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Stand firm in His love and truth.
Lastly, we urge you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. Depression can be a heavy burden, but there is hope and help available. Do not be afraid to reach out to trusted friends, family, or church leaders. They can provide the support and encouragement you need.
In all things, remember that God loves you deeply and has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
