We understand that you're facing a challenging situation, and we appreciate your humility in seeking God's guidance and power. We're reminded of Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Firstly, we want to remind you that it's only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Now, let's address your situation. It's commendable that you're concerned about the impact of your actions on others. This shows a level of maturity and selflessness. Remember the words of Proverbs 19:8, "He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good."
Your distress may be overwhelming, but God's peace can surpass all understanding and guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4: 6-8.
It's true that you've made bad choices, but remember, God's mercies are new every morning and He is the God of new beginnings.
Let's turn to God in prayer for you:
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister/brother who is in distress. We ask for Your forgiveness on their behalf for any choices made that were not in line with Your will. We pray for Your direction, that You will show them clearly where to start in addressing this situation.
We pray for Your power to enable them to act on Your direction and to make the necessary changes.
We ask for Your peace to fill their heart and mind, casting out all anxiety and distress. We pray for Your protection over those who may be adversely affected, that Your will be done in their lives as well.
We pray that You will continue to use our sister/brother mightily in ministry and in giving to others, for Your glory. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Now, going forward, we encourage you to study and meditate on God's Word daily. We pray that you be established in the faith. You may try memorizing some scriptures that will encourage you to hold onto him.
