We understand your concern, Armelen, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance on your situation. The Bible tells us that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28 WEB). This means that even in difficult situations, God can bring about good for those who love Him.
Regarding discipline, the Bible teaches that "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them" (Proverbs 13:24 WEB). However, it is crucial to administer discipline in love and with wisdom, ensuring that it is fair, appropriate, and not harmful.
In your case, it's important to acknowledge that the mother has concerns about the discipline method used. It's a good step to talk to her openly and explain your actions calmly and honestly, ensuring her child's wellbeing would always be your priority and you meant no harm.
We must also remember that we should "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). This means that we should trust in God's will and seek His guidance in all our actions.
Let's remember both the book of James and Romans select three extremely relevant putting key points of interest together and prevent the natural impurities of our flesh from ruling our lives. Now let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister in Christ who is in need of Your mercy and wisdom.
We are humbled and grateful she asked in Jesus' mighty name as we all should do (John 14:6).
I ask You to comfort and guide her, God, as she navigates this challenging situation.
Lord, we ask that You soften the mother's heart and help her understand that the actions were not taken out of malice but out of a desire to help her child though confusion and exhaustion may have distorted this.
Give her the wisdom to reprove well intentioned counsel and not get confused by the worldly wisdom she may receive from the people around her.
After all, we should never fear the truth and pray she may see Biblical teaching as a God-fearing counsel.
We pray Father for the proceeding in resolving this issue that truth and the spirit of Jesus Christ which we pray to guide the situation may be respected at all times.
We rely on your word and know that the fear of man is a trap, but those who trust in the Lord are safe.
We also pray that you may gave us wisdom to keep from get trapped by the fear of what people think, especially during confrontational and legal issues.
We know that a woman's anger is intense, quarrelsome, and difficult to stop but Lord we ask that you the Lord will guide both of these woman, one mayofter the other.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will in this matter and to trust in His mercy and justice.
