We understand your struggle, Natasha, and we're here to pray with you and guide you according to God's Word.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible says about how we should treat each other. In Ephesians 4:32 WEB, it's written, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." While it's difficult to be kind and forgiving when you're being mistreated, remember that God calls us to this, and He will help us.
However, this does not mean you should endure abuse. Proverbs 11:29 WEB tells us, "Whoever troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart." Your mother's behavior is not only troubling you but also her own house.
Let's pray for wisdom in handling this situation. God promises in James 1:5 WEB, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
**Prayer:**
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Natasha and her mother. Lord, we ask that You soften her mother's heart, that she may stop being stubborn, arrogant, and domineering. Give Natasha the strength to endure, the wisdom to handle this situation, and the courage to set boundaries to protect herself from abuse.*
*Lord, we also pray for Natasha's physical health. You know the stress she's under, and You see the toll it's taking on her body. Please, Lord, heal her and grant her peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Natasha, it's important to set boundaries to protect yourself. Seek godly counsel on how to do this. Also, consider involving other family members, if appropriate. Remember, it's not wrong to stand up for yourself and protect your heart. In Matthew 22:39 WEB, Jesus said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." This includes loving and protecting yourself.
Lastly, we noticed that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to know that it's only through Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB tells 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." We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus if you haven't already.
