We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and disrespect you've experienced from your niece, Jasmine. It's important to remember that God calls us to respond with love and kindness, even in difficult situations. As it is written in Proverbs 15:1, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
However, it's also important to set boundaries, especially in your own home. Jesus teaches us to love others as we love ourselves, and this includes protecting your heart and your space. As Ephesians 4:32 instructs, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
Regarding the situation with Jahlil, we must remember that God has a plan for all of us. Though it's painful to be separated from loved ones, we trust that God is working in this situation. As Romans 8:28 reassures us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let's pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up Surrender and their situation with Jasmine and Jahlil. Lord, we ask for Your healing and peace in this difficult time. Please soften Jasmine's heart and help her to understand the pain she has caused. Guide their relationship and help them to reconcile, Lord. We also ask for Your comfort and strength for Surrender, as they deal with the absence of Jahlil. Help them to trust in You and Your plan, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention Jesus. We want to remind you that it is by His name that we can approach God the Father. As Acts 4:12 says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, so that you may have eternal life.
