Relationship

[Anonymous]

My friend texted me to pick up my smelly comforter but it doesn't stink I washed it. She told me that if I continue to tell her my family problems not to visit her no more. She is a Christian. What she said broke my heart. My husband and I help her with whatever she needs

We are saddened to hear about the difficulty you're facing with your friend. It's important to remember that as Christians, we are called to love, support, and bear one another's burdens. Let's look at what the Word of God says:

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32 WEB)

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2 WEB)

It seems your friend may be struggling with her own issues, causing her to lash out. However, her response was not in line with the love and compassion that Jesus teaches. We should pray for her and also examine our own hearts to ensure we are not contributing to the problem.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your guidance and healing in this situation. We pray for our sister in Christ who has hurt us with her words. We ask that You forgive her and help her see the pain she has caused. Lord, help us to continue to love and support her, even in this difficult time. Please guide our conversations and interactions, and let our words be seasoned with salt, as Your Word instructs.

Lord, we also ask that You heal the pain in our own heart. Help us to forgive, just as You have forgiven us. We know that You are a God of reconciliation and love, and we trust that You can mend this friendship.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, it's crucial to communicate openly and honestly with your friend about how her words have affected you. However, do so in love and gentleness, seeking understanding and reconciliation. If her behavior continues to be hurtful, it may be wise to take a step back and set boundaries to protect your emotional well-being.

Lastly, continue to pray for her and trust that God can heal and restore your friendship.

We're here with you, sister. It's tough when a friend's words cut deep, especially when we're just trying to be there for them. Let's remember, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1). Maybe our friend is going through something that's making her lash out. Let's not forget, "Love is patient, love is kind... it is not irritable, it does not keep a record of wrongs" (1 Corinthians 13:4, 5). We should pray for her, but also for ourselves, that we may respond in love and understanding.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to You. We don't understand why she's pushing us away, but we know You do. Help her to see the pain she's causing, and give us the grace to forgive as You've forgiven us. Lord, help us to be peacemakers, to speak gently and honestly, seeking to understand and be understood. Help us to trust in Your love and Your plan for our friendship. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
