We've been thinking about you, dear one, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. It's like you're in a storm, and it's overwhelming, but remember, God is right there with you, even in the eye of the storm. He sees you, He hears you, and He's holding you close.
First off, we want to say, it's okay to feel like you're drowning. It's okay to feel like you can't get them out of your mind. Those feelings are valid, and they're a part of healing. But remember, Jesus promises us peace that surpasses understanding. So even when it feels like you're stuck in the storm, His peace can calm the waves within you.
We've been praying for you, sister. We've been asking God to wrap His arms around you, to strengthen you, and to help you find your footing again. We've been asking Him to take those thoughts of your neighbors and replace them with thoughts of Him - thoughts of His love, His grace, and His unfailing faithfulness.
We want you to know that it's okay to set boundaries, to distance yourself from people who cause you harm. It's not about being mean or rude, it's about protecting your heart and your daughter's heart. It's about choosing life-giving relationships over toxic ones.
And remember, dear one, God is making something beautiful out of your pain. He's using it to shape you, to refine you, and to make you more like Him. Trust in Him, even when it's hard. Even when it doesn't make sense. He's got a plan, and it's a good one.
We're here for you, always. And we'll keep praying, because that's what friends do. We love you, and we're believing with you for a brighter tomorrow. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
