Bulrain, we are truly sorry to hear about the deception and betrayal you've experienced from a family member. It's understandable that your heart is broken, but take courage, for God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
Firstly, let's address the importance of forgiveness. As believers, we are commanded to forgive, just as Christ forgave us (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). Remember, unforgiveness can harm our own hearts more than the person who wronged us. It doesn't mean what they did is acceptable, but it allows us to let go of the bitterness and move forward.
However, we should also be wise in our relationships. Even Jesus did not entrust himself to everyone because he knew what was in people (John 2:24-25, WEB). It's important to set boundaries and be discerning about who we place our trust in.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Bulrain who is heartbroken due to deception from a family member. Lord, You know the pain and hurt they are feeling right now. Please comfort them and help them to find forgiveness in their heart. Help them to let go of this burden and trust in You. Give them discernment and wisdom in their relationships, and guide them on the path of healing and peace. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."
Bulrain, trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Keep your eyes on Jesus, and He will see you through this difficult time.
