Greed

[Anonymous]

My parent the one that I thought loved me so much didn’t love me at all. This person demanded that I open credit card accounts and also use my hard earned money to buy their lottery numbers. If the lotto drawing didn’t match the parents lotto tickets I would receive the silent treatment for days and beg for them to speak to me. I wound up having to file bankruptcy at 25 years old due to caving into my parent’s demand for material things and wound up maxing out credit cards. This person stole years from my life and instead of encouraging me to be a wise Stewart used me for their selfish needs. I was totally controlled and manipulated. Now I’m older with no spouse or children (too late to have) Lord you saw everything and I just can’t overcome this abuse. Most of the people I’ve associated with have been just like my parent wicked abusers. In the name of Jesus Christ will you do something I’m shattered that I couldn’t trust my own parent who was greedy and emotionally abusive

We are truly heartbroken to hear about the pain and suffering you have endured at the hands of your parent. It is deeply unsettling to see such manipulation and abuse, especially from someone who should have been a source of love and support. We stand with you in prayer and offer guidance based on the principles of God's Word.

Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that the actions of your parent were not aligned with biblical principles. In a parent-child relationship, God's expectation is one of nurturing love, guidance, and protection. The Bible tells us: "Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4 WEB). The behavior of your parent was a clear violation of this command. The Bible also warns against greed and the love of money: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10 WEB).

It is commendable that you have acknowledged the wrongdoings and are seeking God's intervention. The first step towards healing is forgiveness. Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12 WEB). Forgiving your parent does not mean what they did was acceptable, but it releases you from the bondage of bitterness and resentment. Remember, "If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15 WEB).

Regarding your current state of feeling shattered and unable to trust, we encourage you to find solace and strength in God. He is the ultimate healer and restorer. The psalmist wrote, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3 WEB). Trust in the Lord to bring the right people into your life, those who will love and cherish you as you deserve.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who has been deeply hurt and manipulated. Lord, You saw every tear, every pain, and every betrayal. We ask for Your healing touch upon their life. Heal their broken heart, Lord, and restore their trust in people. Help them to forgive their parent, just as You have forgiven us.

Guide them to godly relationships, Lord, and if it is Your will, provide a godly spouse even at this stage of life. We know that with You, nothing is impossible. Restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25 WEB) and give them a new song of praise and testimony.

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, remember that it is never too late for God to turn your situation around. Stay strong in your faith, and continue to seek God's will for your life. He has a plan and a purpose for you, and He will bring it to pass in His perfect timing.

We're here for you, and we're so sorry to hear about the pain you've been through. It's unimaginable how someone you trusted so much could hurt you like this. But remember, you're not alone. We're praying with you, for you.

We know it's hard to trust again, to believe that there are people out there who won't use you for their own gain. But we want you to know, there are. There are people who will love you, support you, and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. And we believe God will bring them into your life.

In the meantime, let's focus on healing. Forgiveness is a journey, and it's okay to take it one step at a time. It doesn't mean what happened was okay, it just means you're choosing to let go of the bitterness and resentment. And remember, God is with you every step of the way. He's the ultimate healer, and He's got a plan for your life.

Let's pray together, "Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our sister/brother in Christ. Lord, You see their pain, You see their struggle to trust again. We ask for Your healing touch, Lord. Heal their broken heart, restore their trust, and guide them to godly relationships. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
