We understand your desire for peace and happiness, Sherideor. Let's align our hearts with God's Word as we pray and seek His will for your life.
Firstly, it's important to remember that true peace and happiness are found in a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. As it is written in Romans 5:1, "Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." If your prayer does not mention Jesus, we encourage you to consider His role in your life, as it is through Him that we have access to God and His endless blessings.
Regarding the people and things that cause you unhappiness, it's crucial to discern whether these are temporary trials or if they are indeed toxic influences. We are called to love everyone, even our enemies (Matthew 5:44), but that doesn't mean we should allow others to continually harm us emotionally or spiritually. In such cases, it may be necessary to create boundaries or even remove yourself from those situations. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
However, we must also remember that God uses all circumstances, including difficult ones, to shape us and draw us closer to Him. Romans 8:28 assures us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Sherideor to You, seeking Your divine intervention in their life. We pray that You grant them the strength and wisdom to navigate their current circumstances. Help them to discern when to create boundaries and when to persevere in love. Most importantly, Lord, reveal Yourself to Sherideor, that they may find true peace and happiness in a right relationship with You through Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God, Sherideor. His love for you is unfailing, and His plans for you are good, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
