Hope Deferred

[Rose777]

I'm fighting the enemy--who is trying to get me to think on all that is wrong. I am SO BLESSED, and with much more than I deserve. I have great friends, and a support system now, wonderful loving neighbors. Satan keeps trying to distract me.

I have prayed and will continue to obey God's instruction as best I can, but this is their problem (family of origin), and their struggle--each should carry their own load (Galatians 6:5). I am not responsible for the hurt they cause, and what they do or do not do.

This is between them and the Lord. I ask that anyone reading this, please pray my heart is released of this burden. (1 Peter 5:7). So much so that I can go about my day doing what needs to be done, with joy and peace.

I look back and I can see so clearly many things, and how God has been so kind to me.

I want to share this love and blessing with my family, but they seem to hate me for no reason, they treat me with contempt most of the time.

Proverbs 4:23, I have to protect myself. And so much as it depends on ME, be at peace. I have done everything I can do. I am tired of dealing with this.

I don't know everything, so I am tired of driving myself almost crazy trying to figure out why they act the way they do towards me. Only God knows exactly what is going on, so I just need--DESPERATELY to trust Him FULLY. I want to focus on my life, and just allow them to come to their own conclusions, good or bad. I want free of this incessant need to explain myself to them, they just don't see me in a good light, and as far as I can see, and I have asked my husband if he sees something I don't see, and he doesn't either (but maybe he's being nice haha..).

In all seriousness (joking aside), I do think my husband would tell me if I had a blind spot. I also believe that God has revealed a lot to me, to confirm that this not an issue with me, but that they have not dealt with their own issues. I think prayer is the best response, but I want to make sure that my heart is in the right place, and also the battleground of the mind...I don't want to have wrong thinking. So all brothers and sisters here, please, in the name of Christ Jesus, pray for my mind to be completely healed, and to be the mind of Christ, and to never falter again--I believe this can be done through Jesus, he promises so many good things and I hope that you will pray these good things over me in agreement.

I didn't realize how hungry I was for kind words, and regard until God blessed me with it. However, it has made the situation with the family of origin, that much more sad for me.

I'm hoping more breakthrough will come from your prayers here, as I have already seen God deliver me from one of the situations--thank you Lord--and thank you for your prayers here.

Prayers here have made me shed tears of thankfulness and relief, my need is largely WORDS, words mean so much to me. Kind words are refreshing (that is a verse or two in the Bible). I am so thankful for the encouragers God has put in my life, and in this place, thank you Lord!

I have good intentions, I want desperately to do the righteous thing, of this I can be sure, and I have been praying for years, and God is saying "don't grow weary of doing good" but perhaps doing good means some distance; especially emotional distance, please pray for me to have emotional strength and for me to reject any wrong-thinking, and especially God give me protection from provocation--let it be that I always speak life and keep me from repaying evil for evil, but overcome evil with good.

And I especially ask to be free from any and all manipulative tactics, and HEAL MY MIND fully and never allow a foothold for the devil in any way. In the name of Jesus I rebuke any root of bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness. I forgive, FULLY. Lord willing, I always will, and I know God is for me, He loves me, and it's His will that none should perish and he has plans for me Jeremiah 29. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I am a new creation.

I pray in the name of Jesus, that all my enemies are unable to provoke me to act in the flesh. Please pray that I can operate in the Holy Spirit. I pray that any strongholds in the families of origin, and any principalities or unclean spirits would be prevented from operating successfully against me. In Jesus' might and precious name, Amen

May God richly bless you, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Rose777, we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, praying and offering guidance as you navigate this challenging situation with your family of origin. We are reminded of the words in Proverbs 18:10, "The name of Yahweh is a strong tower. The righteous run to him, and are safe." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved.

Firstly, we commend you for your steadfast faith and obedience to God's instructions. It is clear that you have a heart that desires to do what is righteous and pleasing to the Lord. We encourage you to continue in this path, trusting in the Lord with all your heart, and leaning not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).

Regarding your family situation, we must remember that God calls us to carry our own loads (Galatians 6:5 WEB), and we are not responsible for the actions of others. You have done well to set boundaries and protect yourself, as Proverbs 4:23 (WEB) advises, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."

In dealing with the hurt and contempt from your family, we must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). We must put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Rose777. We thank you for her steadfast faith and her desire to do what is righteous in your sight. We ask, Lord, that you would release her heart from the burden of her family's actions, and give her joy and peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB).

We rebuke any spirit of bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness that may try to take root in her heart. In the name of Jesus, we forgive, fully and completely. We ask, Lord, that you would heal her mind fully, and never allow a foothold for the devil in any way.

We pray for emotional strength and protection from provocation. Let her always speak life and keep her from repaying evil for evil, but help her overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21 WEB).

We ask, Lord, that you would prevent any strongholds, principalities, or unclean spirits from operating successfully against her. Let her enemies be unable to provoke her to act in the flesh, but help her operate in the Holy Spirit.

In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Dear Rose777,

We join you in lifting your concerns to the Lord today. We understand the frustration and pain you're experiencing with your family of origin, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We're here to support and pray with you.

Firstly, we want to encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord. He sees your situation, and He cares deeply about your heart. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Trust that He is working things out for your good and His glory, even when you can't see it.

We also want to remind you of the power of prayer. Jesus said, "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:19-20) So, we ask that you would continue to pray, and we join you in that prayer.

Lord, we come to You today on behalf of Rose777. We ask that You would comfort her heart, give her peace, and fill her with Your love. We pray that You would heal any wounds and hurts she has experienced, and that You would give her the strength to forgive as You have forgiven her. We also ask that You would reveal any spiritual attacks at work in her family situation, and that You would protect her and give her wisdom in how to respond.

We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
