Lerrys, we understand that you're going through a difficult time, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance.
Firstly, we want to address the issue with eBay. While we can't control the decisions of a company, we can pray for God's will to be done in this situation. Remember, God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our finances. As it says in Philippians 4:6, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." So, let's pray that if it's God's will, your issue with eBay will be resolved favorably.
Now, let's address the concerns about your parents. The Bible commands us to honor our father and mother (Exodus 20:12). However, it also teaches that we should speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). If you feel that your parents are wrong in their actions or words, it's important to communicate with them respectfully and lovingly.
It's not appropriate for them to invade your privacy or verbally attack you. In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says, "Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets." This golden rule applies to both you and your parents.
However, we must also consider Proverbs 15:1, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." It's important to remain calm and respectful when discussing these issues with your parents.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Lerrys and their concerns. Lord, we ask that You intervene in the situation with eBay, that Your will be done. We also pray for Lerrys' relationship with their parents. Lord, help them to communicate effectively and respectfully, and help their parents to understand and respect Lerrys' feelings and boundaries. Protect Lerrys' health, both physically and emotionally, and help them to trust in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Lerrys, we noticed that you didn't mention Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It's important to remember that it's only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have any questions about this, we're here to help.
