I have a piano lesson in a few minutes. I'm very stressed out about it for multiple reasons including that I don't think I want to continue taking lessons with my piano teacher due to something that happened a few months ago that made me feel uncomfortable continuing lessons with her. Please pray for me. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the weight of this moment resting on your shoulders. The stress you feel is real, and the discomfort you’ve carried for months is not something to dismiss lightly. We lift this situation before the Lord, asking Him to grant you clarity, peace, and wisdom as you step into this lesson.
First, we want to acknowledge the courage it takes to recognize when something doesn’t feel right and to consider making a change. Trusting your instincts is important, especially when it comes to boundaries and your well-being. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* Even in uncertainty, God sees your struggle and desires to guide you.
We also want to gently encourage you to reflect on what happened with your teacher. If this situation involved any form of inappropriate behavior, manipulation, or disrespect, it is not something to ignore. Your safety and peace matter to God. Psalm 34:18-19 says, *"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."* You do not have to carry this alone.
As you walk into this lesson, we pray that God would calm your nerves and give you the words to communicate honestly—whether that means addressing what happened or simply finding the right moment to express your decision to step away. If you’re unsure how to approach this, ask the Lord for wisdom. James 1:5 assures us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."*
Father, we come before You now, lifting up this dear one who is feeling overwhelmed and conflicted. Lord, You know the details of this situation even when we don’t fully understand them. We ask that You would go before them into this lesson, softening hearts and opening doors for honest conversation. Give them peace in the midst of stress, and help them to sense Your presence with them in this moment.
If this is a time to walk away from these lessons, we pray for courage and grace to do so with kindness and clarity. If there is healing needed in this relationship, we ask that You would work in both hearts to bring restoration. But above all, Lord, protect their heart and mind. Guard them from fear, self-doubt, or any pressure to stay in a situation that doesn’t honor You or bring them peace.
We also ask that You would guide them to the right path forward—whether that means finding a new teacher, taking a break from lessons, or pursuing music in a way that aligns with Your will. Open the right doors, close the wrong ones, and let Your peace be the compass that leads them.
And Lord, if there is any unconfessed sin or unforgiveness in this situation—whether in their heart or another’s—we ask that You would bring it to light and lead them to repentance and reconciliation where it is possible and wise. Help them to walk in Your truth and to trust You with the outcome.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who calms our storms and gives us strength for each step. Amen.
You are not alone in this. God sees your struggle, and He is with you. Take a deep breath, and remember that His grace is sufficient for this moment. If you need to make a change, trust that He will guide you through it.
