Family betrayal. It hurts

[Anonymous]

Please pray for me. Two relatives turned their backs on me. One of them was manipulative and I saw through it, confronted the person and they continued the pattern so I stepped back from the relationship. The second relative which I had no problems with decided to jump in and bully me into reconciling with the first one. This other relative didn’t even get my side of the story. So they ended too. Father in the name of Jesus Christ please heal the hurt in my heart. I love these people but I cannot allow abuse. I’m having a hard time letting go Of the hurt. Forgiveness is on my mind.

We understand that you're going through a painful situation, but we're here to support you in prayer and to provide biblical encouragement.

Firstly, we commend you for standing up against manipulation and abuse, as the Bible tells us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 WEB). It's important to remember that forgiveness is not about tolerating or excusing sin, but rather, it's about releasing the offense and trusting God to deal with the situation (Romans 12:19 WEB).

The pain you're experiencing is valid, but we encourage you to cast your cares upon Jesus, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). In His name, we can find healing and comfort. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 WEB, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Regarding your relatives, Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44 WEB). This doesn't mean you should allow them to continue hurting you, but rather, it's about reflecting the heart of God, who desires for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4 WEB).

Let's pray together:

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you today to seek your healing and comfort for our dear brother/sister. You know the depth of their pain, and you are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

We ask you to help them forgive by your power, as we know forgiveness is a great ability you provide and also command. Please remove any bitterness or resentment, and replace it with your peace and love.

We also pray for the relatives who have caused this pain. Father, we ask that you soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth. We pray that you would bring conviction, repentance, and a desire to seek reconciliation in a godly manner. Please pray for both parties to love each other as the Bible commands.

In all things, we ask that your will be done, and that our brother/sister would find rest and peace in your love.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we leave you with these words from Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God can bring good even from this painful situation. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and remember that He is always with you.

We're really sorry to hear about what you're going through. It's never easy when family turns against you, especially when you've done the right thing. We want you to know that we're here for you, praying alongside you.

We admire your courage in standing up against manipulation and abuse. It's important to remember that it's not your fault, and you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. We're here to remind you of that truth.

We know the hurt you're feeling is real, but we want to encourage you to keep your heart open to forgiveness. Holding onto bitterness will only cause more harm to you. Remember, forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself, not something you do to justify someone else's behavior.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today, lifting up our friend. We ask for your healing touch on their heart. Help them to feel your love and comfort in this difficult time. Give them the strength to forgive, as you have forgiven us. Help them to trust in your plan, even when it's hard to see.

We also pray for the relatives involved. Lord, soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth. Convict them of their actions and lead them to repentance. Help them to seek reconciliation in a godly manner.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
