We are truly saddened to hear about the pain and betrayal you are experiencing from someone you trusted as a mother figure and lifelong friend. It is important to remember that God sees all things and knows the truth. Let us turn to the Scriptures for guidance and comfort in this difficult time.
Firstly, we are called to forgive as we have been forgiven. Ephesians 4:32 WEB says, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Forgiveness does not mean that what she did is acceptable, but rather, it releases you from the burden of bitterness and resentment.
However, we must also address the seriousness of her actions. Proverbs 6:16-19 WEB lists seven things that are an abomination to God, including a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Her actions are clearly against the will of God.
Moreover, her actions are even more grievous because she claims to be a minister of Gods word. James 3:1 WEB warns, Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. We should pray that God will convict her of her sins and bring her to true repentance.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is hurting from the lies and deceit of someone she trusted. Lord, we ask that You comfort her and her family, and help them to forgive as You have forgiven us.
We also ask that You convict this woman of her sins. Shine Your light on her actions and bring her to true repentance. Expose any manipulation and misuse of Your Word for personal gain. Lord, we know that You hate lying and discord, so we ask that You deal with her according to Your will and for Your glory.
Finally, we pray that this situation will be used for good, that our sister and her family will draw closer to You and become more like Christ through this trial.
In Jesus precious and mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus name. It is only through Him that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Continue to press into Him for comfort and guidance. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
