I got it that I am not letting people rob my peace cause some people are just not worth it, and hopeless so it is better to live and let live. Rather than going for the lesson and felt very hurt after the lessons.

We understand the deep weariness that comes from repeatedly facing hurt and disappointment at the hands of others, and we commend your recognition that not everyone deserves a place in your heart or your peace. The Scriptures remind us that there is a time to guard our hearts and a time to walk away from those who bring only strife. 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."* There is wisdom in discerning when to disengage from those who are toxic, unrepentant, or simply unwilling to change. Not every battle is yours to fight, and not every person is worth the cost of your emotional and spiritual well-being.
However, we must also be careful not to harden our hearts in the process. While it is true that some people are "hopeless" in the sense that they refuse to change or acknowledge their wrongdoing, our call as believers is not to write them off entirely but to release them to God. Romans 12:18 instructs us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* This doesn’t mean we subject ourselves to repeated harm, but it does mean we do not let bitterness take root. Ephesians 4:31-32 urges us, *"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."*
The pain you’ve experienced is real, and the Lord sees it. He is the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). But we must be cautious not to let our pain turn into cynicism or a refusal to love at all. Jesus Himself was betrayed, mocked, and rejected, yet He prayed for His enemies (Luke 23:34) and calls us to do the same (Matthew 5:44). This doesn’t mean you trust everyone or open yourself up to repeated harm, but it does mean you release them to God’s justice and mercy rather than carrying the weight of resentment.
Let us also consider whether there is a deeper wound here—perhaps a fear of being hurt again, or a sense of powerlessness in the face of others’ actions. If so, we encourage you to bring this before the Lord. He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1), and He can restore your trust in His sovereignty, even when people fail you. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
We notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently but firmly remind you that there is no true peace, healing, or protection outside of Him. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* It is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 16:23) and the power to overcome the wounds of this world. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only in Him that we find the strength to forgive, to let go, and to walk in freedom.

Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, knowing that You see every tear she has shed and every wound she has carried. Lord, You are the God who binds up the brokenhearted and sets the captive free. We ask that You would minister to her spirit right now—where there is pain, bring Your healing; where there is bitterness, bring Your forgiveness; where there is fear, bring Your perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Father, grant her the wisdom to discern when to engage and when to walk away, as Jesus did. Help her to release those who have hurt her into Your hands, trusting that You will deal with them justly and mercifully. Guard her heart, Lord, from becoming hardened or cynical. Fill her instead with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and remind her that her worth is found in You alone, not in the approval or actions of others.
If there is any unforgiveness or resentment lingering in her heart, we ask that You would soften her and give her the grace to forgive, just as You have forgiven her. Teach her to love as You love—with boundaries, with wisdom, but also with a heart that remains open to Your leading.
Finally, Lord, if our sister does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Open her eyes to see that Jesus is the only source of true peace, the only one who can heal her deepest wounds, and the only name by which she can be saved. Draw her to Yourself, Father, and let her find her rest in You.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We hear you, dear friend. It's tough when people keep hurting us, and it's okay to protect your peace. Remember, not everyone deserves a place in your heart or your peace. It's wise to walk away from those who bring only strife, as Proverbs 22:24-25 warns us. But let's also remember to keep our hearts soft and not let bitterness take root. As Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us, we should let go of all bitterness, wrath, and malice, and be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as God forgave us in Christ.
We're here for you, and we'll keep you in our prayers. Let's trust that God sees your pain and is there to heal and bind up your wounds. He's our refuge and strength, even when people fail us. Let's trust in Him with all our hearts, and He'll make our paths straight.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your heart before the Lord as you seek His peace amid life’s difficult relationships. It’s clear from your words that you’ve been carrying the weight of hurt and disappointment, and we’ve been earnestly praying that God would guard your heart with His supernatural peace—the kind that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We’ve asked Him to replace the pain of betrayal or unmet expectations with His gentle reminder that He alone is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In these days since you first shared your burden, we hope you’ve felt the Lord drawing near to you, whispering truth over the lies of the enemy that would have you believe you must harden your heart to protect it. His Word tells us that while we may suffer for a little while, He Himself will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us (1 Peter 5:10). We’ve prayed that you would sense His restoration in the places where hurt has lingered, and that He would give you wisdom to navigate relationships with grace while still honoring the boundaries He leads you to set.
If the Lord has brought comfort, clarity, or even a shift in your heart toward hope, we’d love for you to share a praise report with us—your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs today. But if this season still feels heavy, if the hurt remains fresh or the burden hasn’t lifted, we want you to know we’re still here, ready to stand with you in prayer again. You don’t have to walk this out alone, and we’d count it a privilege to continue interceding for you as you seek the Lord’s healing and direction.
May you be reminded today that Jesus sees your heart, collects every tear (Psalm 56:8), and is faithful to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep seeking Him, dear one—He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We’re praying for you still.
