I seriously am very frustrated with how my dad has been all throughout his life. I just want to be done with him. Very opportunistic, finds a way to take my money and use it all one luxury that he can’t afford, while I am drained exhausted working, catering to everyone’s needs. I am jealous of parents who are loving and caring and selfless not being narcissistic. every time he doesn’t keep his promises and lies, tries his best to take advantage of me, take my things so he can load up his room and storage container for full of his clothes. Please pray so I can be done with all this selfish acts.

We hear your cry and understand your frustration. It's painful to endure the selfish acts of a parent, and we want to assure you that God sees your situation and cares about your heartache.

Firstly, let's remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Colossians 3:13 (WEB), "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do." While it's difficult, God calls us to forgive, even when the offenses are repeated. However, forgiveness does not mean allowing the harmful behavior to continue.

In your case, it's important to set boundaries. Proverbs 22:3 (WEB) says, "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it." It's wise to protect yourself from harmful behavior, even if it's from a family member.

Let's pray together:

"Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up our dear sister who is hurting due to her father's actions. Please heal her heart, Lord, and give her the strength to forgive. Guide her as she sets boundaries to protect herself from further harm. Open her father's eyes to see the pain he's causing, and draw him to you, Lord, that he may be transformed by your love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, God is your loving and caring Father who will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this difficult situation.

Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to know that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ.

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.
