So I sometimes stay with my boyfriend and his grandma I have been with him for over 3 years and lately his grandmother has been talking to a man over the Internet and sending him money and then asking us for money and things for the house. ### bought me some flowers the other day and she threw them away and then I bought some groceries and she ate all of it and didn't save me anything to eat. She is overbearing and rude she needs some prayers please it's becoming hard to deal with Lord please convict her for how she's treating us and keep her focused on u instead of some strangers on the Internet in Jesus name Amen
 
We hear your heart and the heaviness you carry in this situation. First, we want to acknowledge that your prayer is offered in Jesus’ name, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord, for it is only through Him that true change and healing can come. The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We stand with you in bringing this before God, trusting that He hears and will act according to His will.

The challenges you describe, being treated with disrespect, facing manipulation, and enduring unkindness, are deeply painful, especially when they come from someone who should be a source of love and care. Scripture is clear that we are to honor our elders (Exodus 20:12), but it also teaches that love is patient, kind, and does not seek its own way (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). The behavior you’ve described falls short of the love and respect that God calls us to show one another. We must also address the reality that your living situation involves staying with your boyfriend, which implies cohabitation outside of marriage. The Bible is clear that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20). We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether this arrangement aligns with God’s design for purity and holiness. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and if your relationship is built on a foundation of faith in Christ, we urge you to seek God’s will for this season of your life, whether that means pursuing marriage or separating until you can honor Him in this area.

As for your boyfriend’s grandmother, we join you in praying for conviction and transformation in her heart. The Bible warns against being deceived by empty words or the love of money (Ephesians 5:6, 1 Timothy 6:10). Her actions, sending money to strangers online and then asking for financial help from you, are concerning and may reflect a heart that has strayed from godly wisdom. We rebuke the spirit of manipulation and selfishness in her life, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would open her eyes to the truth. Proverbs 28:22 says, "One who has an evil eye hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him." May God reveal to her the emptiness of her pursuits and draw her back to Him.

We also pray for wisdom and strength for you and your boyfriend as you navigate this difficult dynamic. It is not easy to show grace when you are being treated unfairly, but Scripture calls us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). We encourage you to set boundaries with love, speaking the truth in gentleness (Ephesians 4:15) while trusting God to be your defender. If her behavior continues to cross lines, it may be necessary to seek counsel from a pastor or trusted spiritual mentor to guide you in how to respond in a way that honors God.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation to You. Lord, we ask that You would move powerfully in the life of this grandmother. Convict her of any sin in her heart, especially the love of money or deceitful schemes. Draw her back to You, Father, and let her find her satisfaction and security in Christ alone. We rebuke the spirit of manipulation and selfishness, and we declare that Your love and truth would reign in her life.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and strength for and her boyfriend. Give them the courage to honor You in their relationship, whether that means pursuing marriage or separating to walk in purity. Protect their hearts from bitterness and resentment, and help them to respond to this grandmother with grace and truth. Father, provide for their needs and give them peace in the midst of this trial.

We ask that You would soften hearts, restore relationships, and bring glory to Your name through this situation. May Your will be done, and may Your love be the foundation of all that is said and done. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

In the days ahead, hold fast to God’s promises. Psalm 37:5-6 reminds us, "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun." Trust that God sees your struggles and will not leave you without hope. Continue to seek Him, and He will guide your steps.
 
We hear how draining this has become, the daily grind of feeling disrespected in a space where you're trying to help. When someone you live with throws away a gift meant for you or eats the food you bought without a thought, it cuts deeper than the inconvenience. It wears on your patience and your heart.

What stands out to us is that you're caught between genuine care for your boyfriend's grandmother and the frustration of watching her make choices that hurt everyone, including herself. The man online taking her money is a real concern, but so is the way her behavior is affecting you day after day. Living in that tension can make even small slights feel enormous.

One thing that might help right now is to think about what boundaries could look like in a shared home like this one. Not walls that shut her out, but simple lines that protect what's reasonable while you stay under the same roof. That could mean agreeing together with your boyfriend on what groceries are set aside for your own meals, or having a calm, united conversation with her about household expenses so you're not covering costs while her money goes elsewhere. Boundaries aren't unkind, they're how love stays sustainable instead of turning into resentment.

None of this will fix her choices overnight, and conviction is God's work in her heart, not yours to carry. But you can ask for wisdom about what's yours to guard and what's yours to release, and we'll join you in that.

Lord, you see the frustration and the weariness here. Give this couple clear, united wisdom about how to live with kindness and still protect what's reasonable. Guard this grandmother from the schemes drawing her in, and quiet her heart with your presence so she doesn't keep reaching for what only harms her. Bring peace to this home in whatever form it needs to take, and steady these two as they navigate a hard season with patience and grace. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
The trial you describe with your boyfriend's grandmother is indeed a sore burden, and it is well that you bring it before the throne of grace. That she should cast aside tokens of kindness and consume the provisions without thought for you reveals a heart turned inward upon itself, and her entanglement with a stranger on the internet, sending money she does not have, betrays a soul snared by foolishness. Pray for her, yes, pray that the Holy Spirit would bring a thorough conviction of sin, that deep and terrible sense of guilt which David knew when he cried, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean.” For until a soul feels the horribleness of its own waywardness, as a leper feels his uncleanness, there is small remedy. The Spirit’s work of convincement must come, perhaps by Grace, perhaps by affliction; but it is the only door to peace.

Yet I must speak plainly, for it is my charge to watch over souls. While you intercede for her, what of your own position under God’s order? You say you sometimes stay with your boyfriend, a union of three years but not of the covenant God has ordained. His Word is clear that the marriage bed is a lifelong bond of one man and one woman, and all intimacy and shared household belong within that sacred fence. I do not ask God to bless a relationship that runs athwart His revealed will; to do so would be to ask Him to deny Himself. The family of God, which is one in Heaven and earth, is marked by obedience, not by mere affection or convenience. Noah entered the ark with his wife, and his sons with their wives, each pair according to the divine pattern. No household can truly prosper that builds upon another foundation.

Consider whether the turmoil you suffer in that home is not, in part, a merciful disturbance. The Holy Spirit often stirs inward conflict when we walk contrary to His commands, not to destroy us, but to draw us out of our false peace. As they come to Christ, many find their sin more bitter than before, but that sorrow is a healing wound. Have you felt conviction, not only for the grandmother’s peevishness, but for your own disregard of the law of God? The gate is strait: strive to enter it. The devil would tear and throw you down even as you draw near to Jesus, but remember, “He is able to save to the uttermost.” Look to the Cross, where Christ bore the judgment of sin, and find there both pardon and power to live as one belonging to the whole family of the redeemed, acknowledging His lordship in every relationship. Then shall your prayers have a firmer footing, and the God of all consolation will either soften that woman’s heart or give you strength to endure, and wisdom to order your steps in the light of His countenance.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
