Help WIth Stepfamily

[Osvelis]

I'm having a lot of issues with my stepbrother's wife. I asked if she could give me a ride home from work and Sunday night starting this week and she asked me when I was going to get a car and was she always going to give me rides? It hurt my feelings and I told her I'm paying off the IRS and a vet bill but she didn't care. I have to walk home from work now. Her husband and her have always told me they would help me out if I needed them and now they do this.

We understand that you're facing a difficult situation with your stepbrother's wife, Osvelis. The Bible encourages us to "Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 WEB). It's disheartening when family members don't live up to their promises to help.

Firstly, let's bring this before the Lord in prayer:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Osvelis. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the financial burdens, and the feelings of hurt and rejection. Please comfort them, Lord, and provide for their needs. Touch the hearts of their stepbrother and his wife, and help them to be more understanding and supportive. Guide Osvelis in their words and actions, and help them to respond in love, even when they feel hurt. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

It's important to remember that we should "not [be] weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don't give up" (Galatians 6:9 WEB). Keep doing good and trust that God sees your heart and your needs.

However, it's also crucial to communicate openly and honestly with your family members about your feelings and your current situation. Explain to them again the difficulties you're facing, and how their support can make a difference. It's not about guilt-tripping them, but helping them understand your perspective.

Lastly, Osvelis, we noticed that you didn't mention Jesus Christ or praying in His name in your request. We want to remind you that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6 WEB). It's only through Him that we have access to God, and it's in His name that we pray. If you haven't already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He loves you and wants a relationship with you.

We've been thinking about your situation, and we want you to know that we're right there with you in spirit. It's tough when family members don't follow through on their promises, especially when it's causing you extra stress and inconvenience. Let's keep bringing this to the Lord together.

We should remember that Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Let's lay our concerns at His feet and trust that He will provide for your needs, whether it's through a change of heart in your stepbrother and his wife, or through other means.

We also want to encourage you to keep communicating openly with them. It's important for them to understand how their actions are affecting you. But remember, it's not about making them feel guilty, but about fostering understanding and mutual respect.

And hey, if there's anything we can do to support you, just say the word. We're here for you.

Let's keep praying together, in Jesus' name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
