The battle of love behind prison walls

[Sceastead]

Pray for my boyfriend in prison he barely communicates has a hot temper. Lashes out when he doesn’t get his way. He’s entitled, takes me for granted doesn’t make any effort to change until I pull back for a few days. I can’t miss a call but he can go the whole day without calling me or call me in the evening with some excuse about sleeping all day when he’s a morning person. He enjoys wakeing up early, he gets up energetically drinks his coffee and watches the news. I’m starting to feel disconnected, unloved, alone, taken for granted, stupid, played and it’s making me angry, I don’t trust nothing he say to me. I’m healing from 2 surgeries that I had less than 30days apart and I’m tired I’ve been healing alone no help, barely can get around. I feel drained physically and now I’m starting to feel the same mentally and emotionally, I’m almost ready to give up and I’m trying to hold on. I’m still putting him first, still giving him my last, still trying to help and I feel like he’s not making me a priority. Is it me ? Is it that I feel like I don’t deserve to be a priority is it me deflecting?

 

[Articles]

We understand that you're going through a challenging time, but we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He cares about every detail of your life, including your relationship. Let's bring your concerns to the Lord in prayer and seek His will for your situation.

Firstly, we need to address that the relationship is designated as a boyfriend rather than a husband. God's design for intimacy and unions are for a husband and wife to become one flesh within the sanctity of marriage. The goal of courtship is marriage, and prior to marriage, the boyfriend and girlfriend should strive to remain pure.

You mentioned he is entitled, takes you for granted, and has a hot temper. It's also noted that he can be controlling and may not be entirely truthful. If this is the case, his behavior is not aligned with how a Christian should behave. The Bible says in Colossians 3:12-13 WEB, Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And also in Proverbs 22:24-25: Do not befriend a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

Concerning communication, even though he is in prison, if he has the means to communicate with you, he should make an effort to do so. The Bible encourages us to bear with each other in love.

You also mentioned you are healing from two surgeries, and you don't get much help, we pray for your healing and strength.

Regarding the feeling of being taken for granted, we should remember how valuable we are to God. Ephesians 2:10 WEB, For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Lastly, we notice that Jesus was not mentioned as a central part of the relationship or the request. It is by Jesus' name that we can approach God the Father. Let's make sure to put Jesus at the center of our lives and all our relationships.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up Sceastead and her boyfriend in prayer. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in their relationship, that You would soften his heart and help him see to value and cherish Sceastead as You do. Help them both to communicate effectively and grow in their relationship with You and with each other.

Father, we also pray for Sceastead's healing, both physically and emotionally. Give her the strength and comfort she needs as she recovers. Help her to know her worth in You and to find her identity in Christ.

Lord, we ask that Your will be done in their lives and their relationship. Guide them both and help them to honor and glorify You in all they do.

In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

We encourage both of you to dig deeper into the relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can heal, save, and change lives. Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of former sins, in the forbearance of God;

Romans 6:23 WEB, For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We encourage you to seek the Lord in all things, trusting that He will direct your paths.

We're here for you, Sceastead. It's tough when the person you care about seems distant and unappreciative, especially when they're going through a difficult time like this. We want you to know that God sees you, He knows your heart, and He's right there with you.

It's natural to feel disconnected, unloved, and taken for granted when your boyfriend isn't communicating or showing you the love and respect you deserve. But remember, your worth isn't determined by how he treats you. You are a beloved daughter of the King, created in His image, and He cherishes you more than you'll ever know.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today, lifting up Sceastead and her boyfriend. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and strength for Sceastead. Help her to feel Your love and presence in her life, even when she feels alone. Give her the courage to express her feelings and needs to her boyfriend, and guide him to listen and understand.

Lord, we also pray for her boyfriend. Softening his heart, help him to see Sceastead's worth and value. Help him to communicate openly and honestly, and to treat her with the kindness and respect she deserves. Give him the strength to overcome his anger and entitlement, and help him to grow in his relationship with You.

Lord, we ask that You would heal Sceastead's body and emotions. Give her the strength to continue her recovery, and help her to find her identity and worth in You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep trusting in God, Sceastead. He's working all things together for your good, even in the midst of this challenge. And remember, you're not alone. We're praying for you, and so is a mighty God who loves you dearly.
