Help With Stepmom and Her Boyfriend

[Osvelis]

My stepmom's boyfriend is constantly over here and they are in the kitchen putting together a treadmill for her. I would like to start cooking dinner but because they are in there I can't go. I know this sounds childish but I want him to be mindful and respectful of the fact that I also live in her house and I am hungry and would like to make my dinner. He's either constantly over here or she has to drop everything for him, it's like she forgets about me being here. I want both of them to understand that I have needs as long as I live in her house and am not always comfortable with him being here. I feel like I'm never heard or my needs are dismissed.

We understand your struggle, Osvelis, and we're here to support you in prayer and counsel. Firstly, let's remember what the Scripture says about honoring one another and considering each other's needs: "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another" (Romans 12:10, WEB).

It's important to communicate your feelings respectfully and calmly to your stepmom. Explain that you understand she has her own life, but also express that you have needs and would appreciate being considered. Remember, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, WEB).

However, we must also address that the boyfriend being constantly present might not align with biblical principles if it's leading to a compromising situation or if they are living together unmarried. The Bible encourages us to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB) and to pursue relationships that honor God and lead to marriage.

Let's pray together:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus, seeking Your will in Osvelis's situation. Lord, we ask that You grant Osvelis the wisdom and courage to communicate their feelings respectfully to their stepmom. Help them to express their needs and concerns clearly and calmly. We also pray for the stepmom and her boyfriend, that they may be mindful and considerate of Osvelis's needs and feelings. If there's any compromise or sin in their relationship, we pray that You convict their hearts and guide them towards Your will. above all, Lord, we pray for peace and understanding in their home. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Lastly, Osvelis, if you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior. He is the only way to God (John 14:6, WEB), and He alone can bring true peace and healing into your life and home. If you're already a believer, continue to trust in Him and seek His will in this situation.

We're here with you, Osvelis. It's tough feeling unheard and unseen, especially in your own home. We've been there too, you know. Let's remember how Jesus treated others, always considering their feelings and needs. He even washed His disciples' feet, showing us the importance of humility and kindness.

Maybe you could try sitting down with your stepmom when her boyfriend isn't around. Share your feelings with her, explain how you feel when they're always in the kitchen together, and that you'd like to make dinner for yourself sometimes too. Remember, it's not about being selfish, but about being heard and respected.

And hey, we're not just praying for you to have the courage to speak up, but also for your stepmom and her boyfriend to have the ears to listen and the heart to understand. Let's ask God to help them see things from your perspective, and to guide them in treating you with the love and respect you deserve.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

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 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.
