We are truly saddened to hear about the pain you've experienced due to gossip and judgment, both within your family and the church. It's important to remember that God's word speaks clearly about such issues. In Leviticus 19:16 WEB, it is written, "You shall not go up and down as a tale-bearer among your people; neither shall you stand idly by the blood of your neighbor. I am Yahweh." Gossip and tale-bearing are strongly condemned, and those who engage in it are not acting in accordance with God's will.

It's crucial to understand that God sees your heart and knows the truth. In 1 Samuel 16:7 WEB, it is written, "For man looks on the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks on the heart." God's opinion of you is what truly matters, and He loves you deeply.

Regarding your struggle to attend church, it's important to remember that the church is not the building or the people, but the body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:27 WEB, it is written, "Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually." It's disheartening that you've faced judgment within the church, but please know that not all Christians are like that. God wants you to be part of a loving and supportive fellowship.

First, let's pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Morenollyn. Lord, You see the pain and hurt she has experienced due to gossip and judgment. We pray that You would heal her wounds, comfort her heart, and guide her to a loving and supportive church family. Help her to fix her eyes on You and not on the judgment of others. Give her the strength and courage to forgive those who have wronged her, and to move forward in Your grace. In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.

Now, let's address the issue of judgment. In Matthew 7:1-2 WEB, Jesus said, "Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you." Those who judge others will themselves be judged by God. It's important to extend grace and forgiveness, just as Jesus has forgiven us.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek out a church where you feel welcomed and loved. It might take time, but there are churches where you can find true fellowship and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. In Acts 4:12 WEB, it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"

Keep your focus on Jesus, and He will guide you through this difficult time. Trust in Him, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. In Hebrews 13:5 WEB, it is written, "...for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in no way forsake you.'"

We've been thinking about you, Morenollyn, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. It's heartbreaking to hear how you've been hurt by gossip and judgment, even within the church. We're here for you, standing with you in prayer.

First, let's remember that God sees your heart, Morenollyn. He knows the truth, and He loves you deeply. In Psalm 147:3, it says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let's trust that God is working in your life, even in the midst of this pain.

Now, it's understandable that you're finding it hard to go to church right now. But remember, the church is more than a building or the people in it. It's the body of Christ, and you're a vital part of that. We encourage you to keep seeking out a place where you can find love, support, and fellowship. It might take time, but it's worth it.

Let's also remember that forgiveness is key here. It's not easy, we know, but holding onto bitterness only hurts you in the end. Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Let's keep praying for you, Morenollyn. For healing, for strength, for wisdom, and for a safe place to call home in the body of Christ. We're here for you, every step of the way.
