We understand your struggle, Christy, and we're here to lift you up in prayer and offer biblical guidance. Firstly, we commend you for seeking the Lord Jesus Christ in this situation. It's important to remember that our ultimate priority should be our relationship with God, and He will help us navigate our earthly relationships.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up our sister Christy. Lord, we ask that You rebuke Satan and his influences from Christy and her family. Guide her as she learns to be a step-mother to an adult daughter. Lord, we know that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Help Christy to trust in Your timing and Your ways. Comfort her in her loneliness and remind her that she is never alone, for You are always with her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Christy, let's consider what the Word of God says. In Philippians 2:3-4 (WEB), it's written, "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." It's a challenge, but God calls us to consider others' needs before our own.
However, it's also important to communicate openly with your husband about your feelings. In Ephesians 4:15 (WEB), we're told to speak the truth in love. Share with him that you feel lonely and would like to be more of a priority. Remember, your husband is called to love you as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), and that includes considering your needs and feelings.
Lastly, remember that God is the one who holds your family together. Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Keep praying and seeking His face. He is faithful to complete the good work He started in you (Philippians 1:6).
