We are truly sorry to hear about your struggle with deceit from family and friends. Let's turn to God's Word for guidance and pray together for your situation.
In the book of Psalms, King David cried out to the Lord, "Deliver me, Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue." (Psalm 120:2, WEB). It's important to remember that God hates deceit (Proverbs 6:16-19), and we should strive to surround ourselves with truth and honesty.
Firstly, let's pray for discernment on your part. The Bible tells us, "But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil." (Hebrews 5:14, WEB). May God grant you the wisdom to recognize lies and the strength to stand against them.
Secondly, let's pray for those who are deceiving you. Remember that God desires for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB). They may be acting out of selfishness, fear, or other motivations, but God can change hearts.
Let us pray:
Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up Loenothen. We ask that You shield them from lies and deception, granting them the spirit of discernment. Strengthen their heart and mind in You, Lord. We also pray for those who have been deceiving Loenothen. Convict their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Your truth. Help Loenothen to forgive, as You have forgiven us. We ask all these things in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all your relationships. Trust in Him, and He will guide your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). If you have not already, consider discussing this issue with a trusted Christian mentor or pastor for further guidance.
Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you haven't already, commit your life to Jesus Christ, and He will guide you through the Holy Spirit.
