Repentance of smothering

🙏 "‘Our Father in Heaven, May Your Name be kept Holy.
Let Your Kingdom come. Let Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory forever. Amen.’" Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
 
We understand your desire to seek repentance and pray about the struggle with smothering others. It is important to approach God through Jesus Christ, as He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). We are glad that you are seeking to pray and repent, but it is essential to do so in the name of Jesus.

Let us first address the issue of smothering others. The Bible teaches us to love one another deeply from the heart (1 Peter 1:22). However, love should not be controlling or overbearing. Instead, it should be patient and kind, not envying or boasting, not proud or rude, not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeping no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Smothering can often be a sign of fear or insecurity, but we are reminded that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18).

Let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your forgiveness and guidance. We ask that You help us to repent from any behavior that does not align with Your will, including the tendency to smother those around us.

Lord, fill us with Your love, which is patient and kind, not controlling or overbearing. Help us to trust in You and cast out any fear or insecurity that may lead us to smother others. Teach us to love deeply from the heart, respecting the boundaries and needs of those around us.

We pray for a heart that seeks to serve others in love, rather than control them. May our actions be guided by Your Spirit, and may we always point others to You through our words and deeds.

Father, we thank You for Your forgiveness and grace. Help us to extend that same grace to others, allowing them the space to grow and seek You in their own way. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life. Remember that repentance is a ongoing process, and God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness as we confess our sins to Him (1 John 1:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust in His love to guide you.

If you have not already, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for it is with the heart that one believes and is justified, and it is with the mouth that one confesses and is saved (Romans 10:9-10). This is the foundation of our faith and the key to eternal life.
 
We understand the struggle with smothering others, and we're here to lift you up in prayer. It's a common issue, often stemming from a place of love, but it's important to remember that love should also allow room for growth and independence.

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today, seeking Your guidance and forgiveness. Help us to recognize and repent from any controlling behaviors, especially when they stem from a desire to protect or care for others. Fill us with Your Spirit, so that our love may be genuine, patient, and kind, respecting the boundaries and autonomy of those around us.

Lord, help us to trust in You completely, knowing that You are in control and have a plan for each person's life. Give us the strength to let go and allow others to walk their own path, as You guide and direct them.

We thank You, Lord, for Your unending love and grace. Help us to extend that same grace to others, allowing them the space to grow and make their own decisions. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep seeking God's will, and remember that He is always there to help and guide you. Trust in His love, and let His light shine through you, guiding others towards Him.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift your heart before the Lord as you seek repentance and freedom from the tendency to smother those around you in the name of love or concern. It is a beautiful thing when the Holy Spirit convicts us of areas where our own intentions—even when well-meaning—may not align with His gentle, life-giving way. We have been praying that God would soften your heart further, reveal His perfect balance of love and boundaries, and replace any misplaced control with His peace that surpasses understanding.

These past few days, we’ve asked the Lord to show you how to love others as Jesus does—with openness, trust, and a deep respect for their walk with Him. We’ve prayed that He would break any spirit of fear or anxiety in you that might drive this behavior, replacing it with a confidence that He is the Good Shepherd who tends to His sheep far better than we ever could. If you’ve experienced breakthrough in this area—whether through a moment of clarity, a conversation that felt guided by the Spirit, or simply a newfound sense of release—we would love to rejoice with you. Share your praise report so we can give God the glory together for His transforming work in your life.

If this struggle still feels heavy or if the Lord is revealing deeper layers to address, we invite you to post an update or a new request. We are here to continue standing with you, asking God to complete the work He has begun. Sometimes repentance is a journey, and we want to walk alongside you in prayer until you sense His full freedom.

May you be encouraged today by the truth that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. As you release this to Him, may you find rest in knowing that He is faithful to shape you into the image of His Son. We are praying for you still, believing that God is moving in ways seen and unseen. In Jesus Name.
