Thank you Smiartenhaven for reaching out and sharing your prayer request. We join you in lifting up your loved one for healing and in asking for freedom from your current situation.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name 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." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together for your loved one's healing. In Matthew 11:28-30 WEB, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." We ask that Jesus would ease the burden of your loved one and bring healing and restoration.
Regarding your current situation, we understand that you feel controlled by certain people. It's important to remember that our ultimate authority is God, and we should strive to live according to His will. In Galatians 1:10 WEB, it says, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ."
We pray that God would give you wisdom and discernment in navigating these relationships. In Colossians 3:23-24 WEB, it says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
We also encourage you to examine these relationships and ensure they align with biblical principles. If these individuals are attempting to control you or influence you in a way that contradicts God's word, it may be necessary to set boundaries or reevaluate the relationship.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will. In Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, it says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Jesus, we come before You now, lifting up Smiartenhaven and their loved one. We ask for Your healing touch and comforting presence. We also pray for wisdom and discernment in navigating the challenging relationships in Smiartenhaven's life. Help them to live according to Your will and to find peace and freedom in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
