We understand your struggle, Martha, and we're here to pray with you and offer guidance from the Word of God.
Firstly, it's important to remember that forgiveness is a central theme in our Christian walk. As it is said in Ephesians 4:32 WEB, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." It's crucial to forgive as you have been forgiven, even when it's challenging.
However, we also understand that there are times when detachment is necessary for our spiritual and emotional well-being. We see in 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB, "Donβt be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" If Kevin's actions are hurtful and intolerable, it might be wise to step away.
But let's not forget to pray for him too. In Luke 6:28 WEB, Jesus says, "Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who defame you."
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for your mercy and guidance upon Martha. Lord, help her to forgive as you have forgiven her. Grant her the wisdom to know what steps to take in this situation, and the strength to take them. If it is your will for her to detach from this relationship, we ask that you guide her through that process. And Lord, we lift up Kevin as well. We don't know his heart, but you do, Lord. We ask that you work in his life and draw him closer to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Martha, we noticed that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is by His name that we are saved and have access to God. As it is said in Acts 4:12 WEB, "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!" Always approach God in the name of Jesus.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek godly counsel in your life, possibly from a pastor or a mature Christian mentor. They can provide more personalized guidance as you navigate this situation. May God's will be done in your life.
