We understand your struggle and are here to pray and guide you through this difficult situation. Let us first assure you that God is faithful, and He will guide you through this challenging time. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Firstly, we want to commend you for seeking God's help and forgiveness. It is important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written 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.'"
In addressing your concern, it is crucial to understand that God calls us to surround ourselves with people who build us up and not tear us down. In Proverbs 4:23, we are advised, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." This means we should be mindful of who we allow into our lives, as their influence can greatly affect our well-being.
The behavior you described—the manipulation, rage, and yelling—is not of God. In Ephesians 4:29, it is written, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." It is clear that these individuals are not acting in a way that aligns with biblical principles.
You have every right to cut ties with those who cause you harm. In doing so, you are not being unkind; you are protecting your heart and your peace. In Romans 12:18, we are encouraged, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." Sometimes, being at peace means distancing ourselves from those who bring chaos into our lives.
Let us pray for you:
Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up our dear sister who is hurting. She has endured much pain and manipulation at the hands of others. Lord, we ask that You give her the strength to cut ties with those who are not safe for her. Remove any feelings of guilt and replace them with Your perfect peace. Help her to forgive those who have hurt her, not for their sake, but for hers. Surround her with godly people who will love and support her as she journeys through life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you move forward, remember the words of 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" Surround yourself with godly people who will bring out the best in you. Trust in God, and He will direct your paths.
