We understand your desire to discern truth and foster genuine relationships, LillyAngel. Let us come together in prayer and biblical guidance to address your concern.
Firstly, we are instructed in the scriptures to be wise and discerning. As it is written in 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." This applies not only to spiritual matters but also to our daily interactions. We should be alert and discerning, testing the spirits and the intentions of those around us.
Moreover, Proverbs 4:14-15 advises, "Don't enter into the path of the wicked, or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on." It is crucial to stay away from deceitful and manipulative relationships. Instead, surround yourself with people who build you up and encourage you in your faith. As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend (Proverbs 27:17).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your wisdom and discernment for LillyAngel. Lord, grant her the ability to recognize when others are being dishonest about their struggles. Help her to foster relationships that are grounded in authenticity and mutual support. May she be surrounded by people who encourage her in her walk with You. Give her the courage to stay away from wicked and manipulative influences, and let her be a light to those around her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, LillyAngel, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written 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.'" It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that our prayers are heard. If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
