We understand that you feel taken advantage of by those around you, and we are here to pray and offer guidance. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your prayer, for it is only by His name that we can approach God the Father and be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
In your situation, it is important to remember that God sees your heart and knows your struggles. He cares for you and wants to surround you with people who will truly wish the best for you. As it is written in Psalm 34:15 WEB: "The eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous. His ears listen to their cry."
However, we must also remember that God calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as written in Matthew 5:44 WEB: "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,". This does not mean that we allow others to take advantage of us, but rather that we respond with love and kindness, trusting that God will handle the situation.
Moreover, it is wise to set boundaries and be discerning in our relationships. As it is written in Proverbs 22:3 WEB: "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it." It is important to be cautious and protect ourselves from those who may seek to take advantage of us.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who feels taken advantage of by those around them. Lord, You see their heart and know their struggles. We pray that You would change the hearts of those who seek to take advantage, and surround our brother/sister with people who truly wish the best for them.
Grant them discernment and wisdom in their relationships, and help them to set boundaries when necessary. Give them strength and courage to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, trusting that You will handle the situation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God sees you and knows your situation. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this difficult time. Remember the words of Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." God can turn even the most difficult situations into something beautiful for His glory.
