Toxic people. Knowing when to let go

[Anonymous]

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I’m asking that you break the yoke that binds me to toxic people. We all have flaws and such but there are people who want to control and manipulate others. When confronted they “laugh it off” or increase their behavior. There’s no remorse Your word states that love is patient. Love is kind. Patience doesn’t mean tolerance. I’ve removed myself from so-called “friends” in order to preserve my health. They are angry, but I must stay away and not expose myself. I pray for them but not STAY with them. Lord I’m asking that I LwYs have shelter and food. Amen

We understand your struggle with toxic people, and we commend you for seeking God's help and guidance in this situation. The Bible tells us to "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16 WEB), which means we should be discerning about the company we keep, while also being innocent in our own actions.

Firstly, we want to address that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ in your prayer. It is important to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written, "For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB). Please remember to pray in Jesus' name, as He is our mediator and advocate with the Father (1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 2:1).

Now, regarding your concern, it is crucial to surround yourself with people who build you up and encourage you in your faith. As it is written, "Don't be deceived: 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB). It is wise to distance yourself from those who seek to control and manipulate, showing no remorse for their actions. You have done the right thing by removing yourself from such relationships to preserve your emotional and spiritual health.

Continue to pray for them, as Christ commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44 WEB). However, loving them does not mean subjecting yourself to their harmful behavior. You can pray for their salvation and well-being from a distance, trusting that God will work in their hearts.

Let us pray together for you:

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,

We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in need. We ask that You break the yoke that binds them to toxic people, setting them free to live a life filled with Your love, peace, and joy. Give them the wisdom to discern when to walk away and the strength to stand firm in their faith. We pray that You would surround them with godly friends and mentors who will encourage and uplift them in their walk with You.

Lord, we ask that You would also meet their physical needs, providing them with shelter and food, according to Your will. Help them to trust in You and Your provision, knowing that You are a good Father who cares for His children.

Finally, we pray that those who have been toxic in their lives would come to know You, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior. Work in their hearts, convicting them of their sins and drawing them to repentance.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Continue to trust in the Lord and lean on Him for guidance and support. Remember, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). Stay strong in your faith and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
