Guidance and protection

[Elodie]

Pray strongly for me. I can't no longer take my mother mistreating me on the phone. It has been getting worse every single week for the past 6 months. I have been improving myself for decades. I have been seeking a job since February with no results. My mother has been helpful at times but others she has been toxic. This week has been awful. I shared certain positive things with her that I'm working on. She judged me and started to yell at me, ridiculed me saying I'm not doing anything with my life while everyone is online becoming famous and making money. While she is right a bit she is yelling at me for no reasons and it's really awful. I told her by text to no longer call me. I finally understand that I can't change her. Unfortunately its getting worse with age no changes in her behavior. I do understand that she is lonely and by herself. Calling her daily is what we always do to stay in contact and make sure we are ok but it is not possible for me to call her to just check on her as she has made it difficult by talking about politics and other subjects that has nothing to do with us. Im working hard so she can be with me and live with me so she has company. This week I had to make a decision for my mental health and well-being. I just decided to not call her as I can't take the emotional and mental abuse anymore. I have done everything in my power to calm her down to make her more aware of her negative and bad behaviors but she is in total denial. I'm just going to continue praying for her well-being as I always do but I am taking distance from her for my well-being. I love her with all my heart but I can't take this anymore. Pray that while I don't talk to her that God continues to protect her and keep her safe at all times. Her name is Venus. Pray that I be strong in keeping my distance from her. I also used to tell her my daily activities, seeking jobs, going to interviews etc thinking it will also interest her and see that I am active but I realize whenever I tell her my daily activities or new projects it doesn't really interest her and her feedback is for the most part negative. I realized by telling her my business she is putting her negativity into it and I end up failing, not get the job or the job is not good. I feel that it's best that I keep my private life to myself and keep on moving forward. I feel like when I do get something done like getting a job or a project done then I can tell her but not while I'm working on it. Maybe she gets frustrated because she sees that I still didn't get a job or a project started so it's best for both of us that I keep my goals private until they are achieved. I realized it's also best for her mental health that she is less in contact with me so she won't have worries and stress over my life. Again I'm asking for strong prayers as it's not something I am used to as I am her only child and I'm very close to my mother since birth. Pray for me that God helps me, guides me and protects me.

Elodie, we understand the pain and distress you're experiencing due to your mother's mistreatment. We commend you for your decades-long self-improvement journey and your job search efforts. In all things, we must remember that our strength comes from the Lord. As it is written in Philippians 4:13 (WEB), "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

Firstly, let's address the situation with your mother, Venus. It's important to honor our parents, as instructed in Ephesians 6:2 (WEB), "Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise." However, honoring does not mean enduring abuse. You've taken the right steps in setting boundaries to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Proverbs 4:23 (WEB) tells us, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up Elodie and her mother, Venus. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over them both. Grant Elodie the strength and wisdom to maintain her boundaries and resist the emotional and mental abuse. Comfort her heart, Lord, and guide her steps as she seeks employment and personal growth. Be with Venus, Lord. Despite her actions, we ask that You watch over her and keep her safe. Draw her closer to You, Lord, and soften her heart. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, Elodie, to continue praying for your mother. God's love and grace can change even the hardest hearts. As for your job search, trust in the Lord's timing. Psalm 37:7 (WEB) urges us to "Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him." Keep seeking Him and His will for your life.

Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's crucial to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written 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.'" We encourage you to keep praying in Jesus' name and cultivating a personal relationship with Him. If you haven't already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It's the most important decision you'll ever make.

Keep your faith strong, Elodie. Trust in the Lord, and He will guide your paths.
