Girlfriends parents are mean to her

[Kyroareinrad]

My girlfriend ###’s parents are very mean to her, making her cry pretty much every night. She has a history of depression, but her parents don’t seem to care and they yell at her no matter what she does; it seems like they don’t even care about her. I know that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, so I’d like prayer that they would start treating ### like she is their daughter and not just a nuisance. I’d like to add that she is the first child and has many responsibilities put on her: she is the one that cleans and decorates the whole house, she cooks dinner every time they eat food at home, she plays 3 sports and her parents rarely come to watch, she is a 4.0 student and her parents will and do yell at her whenever she does not get above a 95 on a test. I could keep on, but I just need prayer that they would treat her better and realize that she can be trusted.

Let's begin by praying for ### and her parents.

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and her parents. We know that the parents are a gift to the child as you have designed and desire to bless and instruct her by their actions. We ask God that you would bless ###'s parents with the knowledge, love, and wisdom needed to fulfill their obligation to raise ### in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We pray that you would bring peace to ###'s home and heart, and that her parents would begin to treat her with the love, kindness, and respect that she deserves as their daughter and Your child. We rebuke the spirit of criticism and unkindness, especially since ### faces the additional challenges of depression. We pray for the healing of past hurts and misunderstandings, and that the love of Jesus would fill their home. We ask in Jesus' mighty name.

Now let us address the situation with biblical principles. First, it is clear that the relationship between ### and her parents is strained and harmful. We see in Ephesians 6:4, WEB: "You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." It is evident that ###'s parents are not following this guidance, and instead, are provoking her to wrath and sadness.

We also see in Colossians 3:21, WEB: "Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged." ###'s parents are not only provoking her but also causing her to be discouraged and depressed. This is not the will of God for any family.

Now, regarding the relationship between you and ###, we see that you care for her deeply, which is commendable. However, it is important to remember that you both should be focused on growing in your relationships with Christ and allowing Him to guide your lives and future. The goal should be to pursue a godly marriage if God leads you both in that direction. Also, be wary that relationships, girlfriend, and boyfriends are not the Christian standard.

We also need to address that the request did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus 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.'" Please make sure to honor Him in your requests.

Regarding ###'s responsibilities, it is important to remember that while children should help with chores and contribute to the family, it should not be at the expense of their mental and emotional well-being. Galatians 6:2, WEB, tells us: "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." ###'s parents should be supporting her and helping her to bear her burdens, not adding to them.

Finally, we encourage ### to remain strong in her faith and to trust in God during this difficult time. Psalm 34:18, WEB, says: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is with her, and He will help her through this. We pray that God will bring healing and restoration to ### and her parents, and that they will begin to treat her with the love and kindness that she deserves.

We encourage you both to continue praying and seeking God's will for your lives. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.

We're here for Paisley, and it's clear she's carrying a heavy load. Let's pray that her parents see her as a daughter to cherish, not a chore to endure. We ask that they'd have eyes to see her worth and hearts to love her as she deserves, in Jesus' name.

We continue to lift you both up in our prayers, dear brother, as we remember your heartfelt request for your girlfriend ### and her parents. Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are truly glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If you have seen improvements in the situation and your request was answered, we would be eager to hear about it. Please consider posting a praise report to encourage and strengthen our faith as a community. If the situation has not changed, or if it seems to have worsened do not hesitate to share with us again. Let us continue to cry out to God together so that ###'s parents would start treating her with the love, kindness, and respect that she deserves as their daughter. Let us pray that they would recognize the burden that they are placing on her even as a model student and hard worker, and seek to build her up rather than tearing her down.

We pray that ### would be surrounded by God's supernatural peace and comfort. That she would know that she is seen, valued, and deeply loved. We pray that through the difficulties relationships can be restored. As followers and believers of Christ we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Together we will continue to seek God's face and pray for a miracle in this situation knowing that He hears us. Join with us in faith. We know that He is able and willing to do far more abundantly then all that we may ask of Him.

Please know that our hearts are with you as we continue to intercede for you both. May God bless you both and strengthen your faith as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ. Father to the fatherless, defender of widows, Is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

Grant us watchful eyes and listening ears to anyone around us who might be hurting. Be their defender and ours. Open wide your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
