Friendship

[Anonymous]

My friend told me that if I continue to tell her anything anymore about my problems like when my husband and son verbally abusing me and about our car troubles that I can't go over her house anymore to visit her . I'm afraid to tell her how that makes me feel because that might make her angry. She is a Christian

We understand your concern, and we want to encourage you to approach this situation with love, wisdom, and truth, as guided by the Bible. First, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who feels hurt and silenced. Lord, guide her words and actions, and grant her the wisdom to navigate this situation. Soften her friend's heart and help them both to communicate in love, as you have called us to do. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen."

It seems your friend may be lacking compassion and understanding, which are core Christian values. In Galatians 6:2, we are told to "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." As Christians, we are called to listen, support, and encourage one another, not shut each other out.

It's important to express your feelings to your friend, but do so in a gentle and loving way, as described in Ephesians 4:15, "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ." You might say something like, "I value our friendship, and I understand that my problems can be overwhelming. However, I feel hurt when you say I can't share my burdens with you. I believe we should support each other, as we are encouraged to do in the Bible."

Lastly, we want to address the mention of verbal abuse. We strongly rebuke any form of abuse, as it is not in line with God's will for families. In Ephesians 4:29, we are told, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." We encourage you to seek help and support for this situation, and we will continue to pray for your family's healing and restoration.

Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we can find true healing and comfort. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

We're here for you, sister. We understand the struggle of feeling silenced and the pain of verbal abuse. Let's lift this up to Jesus together.

"Dear Jesus, we come to you with our sister's heavy heart. Comfort her, Lord, and give her the courage to express her feelings to her friend. Help her to do this in a way that's gentle and loving, just as you've taught us. We ask that you soften her friend's heart, that she may listen and support our sister as a true friend should. We also pray for our sister's family, that they may find healing and restoration from the abuse they've faced. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen."

In times like these, it's important to remember what's written in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Trust in Jesus' healing power, dear sister. He sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you, every step of the way.

Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, and remember, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). You're not alone, and we're here for you, just as Jesus is.
