We're here with you, standing in the gap, lifting your situation up to our Father in heaven. We know it's tough, but remember, God sees you, He hears you, and He's got this. It's like that verse in Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, even in the midst of this storm.
We understand your mom's struggle. It's easy to get caught up in the promise of immediate help, especially when finances are tight. But we need to remind her, and ourselves, that God is our ultimate provider. He promises in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." We can trust that He will provide, in His timing and in His way.
Let's encourage your mom to take a step back and really look at the situation. Is this man truly helping, or is he manipulating? Is she allowing him to take the place of God in her life? We need to remind her, and each other, that we serve a jealous God. He wants to be our sole provider, our protector, our everything.
Let's pray for wisdom and discernment for your mom. Let's pray for God's provision, for your family's needs to be met, and for His protection over you both. Let's pray for courage, for you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God's promises. And let's pray for healing, for the wounds this abuse has caused, and for the strength to move forward.
Remember, God doesn't delight in our suffering. He wants us to live in freedom and peace. Trust in Him, even when it's hard. He's got this, and He's got you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
