Grief multiplied 🙏😞

[Anonymous]

I’m dealing with grief in several areas 1) the death of a narcissistic parent 2) going no contact with extended relatives who sought to destroy me 3) aftermath of leaving an abusive workplace 4) guilt and shame unable to forgive myself. Rumination and financial distress. Feeling very alone. Trying to find a stream or multiple streams of income. Dealing with people who don’t believe my plight or dismiss it as “you’re too sensitive”. “You have to toughen up”, Father please burn this pain out of me in Jesus name. I can’t go forward yet.

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request according to your will, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We're right here with you, sister. We've been where you are, feeling the weight of loss, the sting of rejection, and the burden of guilt. It's like carrying a heavy backpack, isn't it? But remember, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

We understand the struggle is real, and it's okay to feel alone, but please know, you're not. We're here, praying for you, and so is our Heavenly Father. He sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you in every step.

Let's lift up each of your burdens to Him, one by one. First, the grief of losing a parent. It's okay to mourn, to feel the pain. Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus, so He understands our tears. (John 11:35) Lord, comfort her, heal her heart.

Next, the estrangement from relatives. It hurts, but remember, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34) Lord, help her to love them as You love her, and give her peace with the situation.

Then, the aftermath of leaving an abusive workplace. Lord, give her strength, resilience, and wisdom to navigate this new path. Help her find a workplace that values and respects her.

And finally, the guilt and shame. Lord, help her to forgive herself, as You have forgiven her. Remind her of the truth in Your word, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

We're also praying for provision, for streams of income to meet her needs. Lord, open doors, create opportunities, and bless her finances.

And lastly, we're praying for those who don't believe her plight or dismiss it. Lord, touch their hearts, open their eyes to see her pain, and soften their hearts towards her.

We're praying all this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
