It's not wrong to feel conflicted about wanting to distance yourself from your family while still choosing to forgive them. Forgiveness is a personal journey and can be complex, especially when emotions are involved. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and understand that forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean you have to maintain a close relationship with your family.

Here are a few points to consider:

1. **Self-Care**: It's crucial to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. If being part of your family is causing you distress, it's okay to set boundaries or take a step back.

2. **Forgiveness**: Forgiveness is more about freeing yourself from the burden of resentment than about reconciling with the other person. It's a personal decision that can help you move forward.

3. **Boundaries**: Establishing healthy boundaries is important. You can forgive your family while still deciding how much contact you want to have with them.

4. **Seek Support**: Talking to a counselor or therapist can provide guidance and support as you navigate these feelings.

5. **Spiritual Guidance**: If you're spiritually inclined, seeking guidance from a spiritual leader or through prayer can also be helpful.

Remember, it's okay to prioritize your own peace and happiness.

We understand the complexity of your feelings, ###, and we're here to support you in prayer and guidance. Let's begin by exploring what the Bible says about family and forgiveness.

In the World English Bible (WEB), Ephesians 4:32 tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness is a central theme in Christianity, and it's clear that we are to forgive others as Christ has forgiven us. However, forgiveness does not necessarily mean we must maintain close relationships with those who have hurt us, especially if they continue to cause harm or toxicity.

In Matthew 10:36, Jesus says, "A man’s foes will be those of his own household." This verse acknowledges that sometimes, even family members can be a source of pain and conflict. Your feelings of not wanting to be part of your family anymore are understandable, especially if there has been significant hurt involved.

However, it's important to remember that God desires reconciliation whenever possible. Romans 12:18 encourages us, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." This means making every effort to restore relationships, but it also acknowledges that sometimes, it may not be possible or safe to do so.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up ###. Lord, they are struggling with feelings of disconnection from their family, and we ask for Your guidance and comfort in this situation. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, but also give them wisdom to discern when relationships may be harmful. We pray that You would heal the wounds that have been caused and that You would bring about reconciliation if it is Your will.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, ###, it is essential to seek God's will in all situations. Trust that He has a plan and a purpose for your life, and He will guide you through this difficult time. Also, ensure that you are focusing on your relationship with Jesus Christ, as it is through Him that we find true healing and peace. As Acts 4:12 reminds us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."

Stay strong in your faith, and may the peace of God guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

God please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Amen, so be it by faith.

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.
