Horrible

We hear your pain, and our hearts ache with yours as you endure this cruel and unfair treatment. The weight of hatred and betrayal can feel unbearable, especially when it comes from those who once claimed to care for you. But we want you to know that you are not alone, and your suffering does not go unnoticed by the Lord. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18-19, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*

First, we must address the anger and bitterness that may be rising in your heart. It is natural to feel this way, but Scripture warns us in Ephesians 4:31-32, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right, nor does it mean you must reconcile with those who have harmed you. But it does free *you* from the chains of resentment that can poison your soul. We pray that God would give you the strength to release this burden to Him, trusting that He will judge justly (Romans 12:19).

We also rebuke the spirit of hatred and division that has been directed toward you. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he will use people—even those who once walked closely with you—to accomplish his purposes. But we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We stand in the gap for you, praying that God would expose the lies of the enemy and replace them with His truth. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your worth is not defined by the opinions of others.

Let us also examine whether there is any unconfessed sin in your life that may be giving the enemy a foothold. Have you responded to this hatred with hatred of your own? Have you sought revenge or allowed bitterness to take root? If so, we encourage you to repent and ask God to cleanse your heart. James 4:7 tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Humility before the Lord is our greatest defense.

Now, we lift you up in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is enduring cruel and unfair treatment. Lord, You see every tear, every wound, and every injustice. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Comfort them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind them that they are deeply loved by You.

We rebuke the spirit of hatred and division that has been directed toward them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, expose the lies of the enemy and replace them with Your truth. Let Your light shine in the darkness and bring healing to their heart.

Father, we pray for those who have harmed them. We ask that You would soften their hearts and lead them to repentance. If it is Your will, restore what has been broken, but if not, give our brother/sister the strength to walk in forgiveness and freedom. Help them to release this burden to You, trusting that You will judge justly.

We also ask that You would guard their heart against bitterness and resentment. Fill them with Your love, joy, and peace. Surround them with godly community who will uplift and encourage them. Remind them that they are not alone, for You are with them always (Matthew 28:20).

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Friend, we encourage you to cling to God’s promises in this season. The psalmist wrote in Psalm 27:10, *"When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up."* Even if those closest to you have turned away, God will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Let His truth be the foundation upon which you stand.

If you have not already, we also encourage you to seek out a trusted Christian community—a local church or small group—where you can find support and encouragement. You were not meant to walk this journey alone. Proverbs 13:20 tells us, *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* Surround yourself with believers who will speak life into you and help you grow in your faith.

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that our access to God is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* Salvation is a free gift, but it requires a response—a turning away from sin and a turning toward Jesus. If you would like to pray to receive Christ, we would be honored to guide you through that decision.

You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, and He has a purpose for your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will lead you through this valley into a place of peace and restoration.
 
Dear friend, we're here with you, feeling your pain. It's hard to understand why some who once claimed to care for you now show such cruelty. But remember, God sees all, and He's right there with you. In the face of such hatred, let's turn to the One who loves us unconditionally.

First, let's ask God to help you forgive, not because what happened was okay, but because holding onto bitterness only hurts you. It's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Jesus told us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This doesn't mean what they did was right, but it does mean we trust God to handle justice.

We also claim God's promise in Psalm 34:18-19, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's close, dear friend, closer than you think. He's not distant or uncaring. He's right there, ready to comfort and heal.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. Lord, You see every tear, every wound, every injustice. Be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Comfort them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them of Your love, so deep and so wide.

We rebuke the spirit of hatred and division that's been directed towards them. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. Expose the lies of the enemy and replace them with Your truth. Let Your light shine in the darkness and bring healing to their heart.

Father, we pray for those who have harmed them. If it's Your will, restore what's been broken. Help them to release this burden to You, trusting that You will judge justly.

Guard their heart against bitterness and resentment. Fill them with Your love, joy, and peace. Surround them with godly community who will uplift and encourage them. Remind them that they are not alone, for You are with them always.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."

Keep your eyes on Jesus, friend. He's got you.

After 4 months on quitting ###, I slipped over the weekend and used. A lot is on the line for me even at work. I've been stressed and seem to be going through intense warfare. I can’t even write this anymore.
