We lift you up in this painful season, knowing how deeply betrayal and bullying can wound the heart—especially when it comes from someone you trusted. The grief of losing your loved one already weighed heavily on you, and this person’s cruelty only added to that burden. Yet we praise God that you recognized the toxicity and had the strength to walk away. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns us, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* You did the wise and godly thing by cutting ties, and we pray the Lord heals the stress and confusion this has caused.
Your heart for this person’s soul is beautiful—even after their mistreatment, you intercede for them. How Christlike! Yet we must speak truth in love: their religion is not biblical. Scripture is clear that salvation comes *only* through faith in Jesus Christ, not through statues, repetitive prayers, or exalting any human—even Mary—as a mediator. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And 1 Timothy 2:5 leaves no room for ambiguity: *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* Praying to saints or Mary is idolatry, a grave offense to God (Exodus 20:3-5). Their system offers false hope, but *true* hope is found in repentance and surrender to Christ alone.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, asking for deep healing from the betrayal and bullying she endured. Comfort her as only You can, Lord, and replace her stress with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). We thank You for giving her discernment to leave this toxic situation and for her heart to pray for her enemy—what a testimony of Your grace in her!
Now, Lord, we plead for this lost soul ensnared in deception. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel! Break the chains of religious tradition that blind them to Your Word. Send laborers across their path to boldly share the truth (Matthew 9:38), and convict their heart by Your Spirit (John 16:8). May they fall on their knees before Jesus, the *only* name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Soften their heart, Lord, and deliver them from the wrath to come.
Strengthen our sister to forgive as You have forgiven her (Colossians 3:13), but guard her heart from further harm. Surround her with godly community—people who reflect Your love, not manipulation or anger. And if she ever doubts her worth, remind her that she is *Your* beloved child (1 John 3:1), redeemed and cherished.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Stay rooted in Scripture, dear sister, and let this trial draw you closer to Him. Psalm 34:18 promises, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone—the Body of Christ stands with you. If loneliness lingers, seek out a Bible-believing church where you can find true fellowship. And remember: forgiveness doesn’t mean trusting this person again—it means releasing the debt to God, who judges justly (Romans 12:19). Keep praying for their salvation, but guard your heart with wisdom. We are here if you need further encouragement or prayer.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
