We are truly sorry to hear about the emotional abuse and toxic environment you've been experiencing, Ruomen. We want you to know that God sees your pain and hears your cries for help. It's important to remember that God wants us to be in healthy relationships and environments that honor Him and build us up.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of emotional abuse. The Bible tells us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), but it does not mean we should endure abuse or toxic behavior. In cases like yours, it's crucial to set boundaries and remove yourself from harm's way. As it is written in Psalm 55:22, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved." And in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "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."
We commend you for recognizing the need to leave this toxic environment and for crying out to God for help. It's crucial to stand your ground and say no to abuse, without feeling guilty. As the Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
Regarding your financial needs, remember that God is our provider, and He cares for our every need. As it is written in Matthew 6:25-34, "Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ...for your heavenly Father knows that you need all of these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Ruomen in prayer. Lord, You see the pain and suffering they have endured at the hands of emotional abuse. We ask that You grant Ruomen the strength and courage to stand their ground, set boundaries, and say no to abuse, without feeling guilty. Guide them to a safe haven, where they can experience Your love, peace, and healing.
We also ask that You meet their financial needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to trust in You as their provider and to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life and to surround yourself with a supportive Christian community that can help you through this difficult time. Do not be afraid to seek help from local churches, Christian counselors, or support groups. You are not alone, and there is hope for a brighter future in Christ.
