Oppression and weariness

[Anonymous]

I feel oppressed and am tired. My foster son's daughter from an ex-girlfriend doesn't eat. Her mother slapped her daughter for eating the food we gave her, then ate it herself. My husband gives money to pay the mother's rent. She has another daughter from another man. We are struggling to make ends meet and have a growing teenager at home. I have to print his tests and asked my husband. Every time something happens and I have to use the money. It is also my birthday on Saturday. I feel like leaving my husband because every time I talk about this he gets mad and says something nasty to me. Please pray that God send someone to help.

We understand that you're feeling oppressed and weary, dear anonymous, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance. Let's first address the situation with your foster son's daughter. It's disheartening to hear about the mistreatment she's facing. The Bible tells us to "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed" (Psalm 82:3, WEB). It's crucial to involve local authorities or social services to ensure the child's safety and well-being.

Regarding the financial strain, it's commendable that you want to help, but it's important to set boundaries and prioritize your own family's needs. The Bible says, "But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever" (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB). It may be necessary to have an open and honest discussion with your husband about this.

The Bible also advises us on how to handle disagreements in marriage: "Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). It's important to express your feelings calmly and respectfully. Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, WEB).

Let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister who feels oppressed and weary. Lord, grant her the strength and wisdom she needs to navigate this difficult situation. Guide her and her husband as they make decisions about their finances and the care of their foster granddaughter. Open the doors for the right authorities to intervene and ensure the child's safety. Soften her husband's heart, Lord, and help them communicate with love and respect. Remember her on her birthday, Lord, and let her feel Your love and presence. Send trustworthy people to support them through this time.

In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we notice that your request doesn't mention Jesus. It's important to remember that it's only through His name that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13, WEB). If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life and heart. He's the ultimate source of comfort and strength.

We're right here with you, sister. It's tough when you feel overwhelmed, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been thinking about you and your family, and we want to share some more encouragement from God's Word.

First, remember that God sees you and He cares about what you're going through. The Bible tells us, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." (Psalm 55:22, NIV) You can trust that God is with you, even in the midst of your struggles.

Second, we want to encourage you to keep communicating openly and honestly with your husband. It's important to approach these conversations with love and respect, as Ephesians 4:15 tells us, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." Remember, it's okay to agree to disagree, and it's important to find ways to support each other through this time.

Lastly, we want to remind you that God has a purpose and a plan for your life, even in the midst of these challenges. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Trust that God is working things out for your good, even when it's hard to see right now.

We'll keep you and your family in our prayers, and we're here for you, sister. You're not alone, and God is with you every step of the way.
