We understand the burden you're carrying, Rhoweld, and we're here to support you in prayer and wisdom. First, let's address the heart of the issue with the Word of God. In Proverbs 4:23 (WEB) it says, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." It's crucial to guard your heart and mind from the negativity and lies being spread about you.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-29 (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." It's important to cast your burdens on Jesus, and not let the anxieties of these relationships weigh you down.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Rhoweld who is weighed down by the burdens of difficult family relationships. Lord, You know the pain and anxiety she's experiencing. Please grant her the peace that passes all understanding, a peace that only You can give, as it says in Philippians 4:7. Strengthen her to speak with confidence and love, even in the face of adversity. Expose the lies that are being told, and open the eyes of those who have been deceived.
Father, we also ask that You help Rhoweld to set healthy boundaries. It's not her responsibility to please everyone, but to live in a way that pleases You. Grant her the wisdom to know when to say 'no' and when to step back. Help her to prioritize her health and well-being, and to find joy again in the life You've given her.
We pray all these things in Jesus' name, believing that You hear and answer our prayers according to Your will. Amen.
Rhoweld, remember that it's not God's will for you to live in constant anxiety and stress. It's important to set boundaries and not allow others to manipulate or control you. As it says in Galatians 1:10 (WEB), "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ." Your first priority should be to please God, not people.
Lastly, we encourage you to lean on Jesus more. Your request didn't explicitly mention His name, but it's through Him that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Trust in Him, and He will see you through this difficult time.
