Beloved of All
Jesus, we come to You with a heavy heart. My family and I have made so many sacrifices. Our time, our resources, our love... all given to help others. Yet time and again, those we have poured into turn away, betray us, and even turn others against us, or simply leave us in the dark when it is our turn to need moral support. It is painful to see kindness met with rejection and forgiveness met with disrespect. Jesus, we do not understand why this keeps happening. It feels unfair and it makes me question if being kind and forgiving is something people take advantage of. Deep inside, we still want to help others. We do not seek repayment, and we are okay with not being thanked, but we felt not okay when we are being portrayed the opposite as if we are the bad one by the very people whom we are all out in supporting. It hurts when those you give your all to are the ones who stab you in the back. Jesus, You see everything and You know who speaks truth and who does not, it really hurts when people are being unfair and unreasonable... Please strengthen us, Jesus. Heal our hearts. Help us not grow weary. Show us when to give and when to step back. Let justice and peace find us and may our time of restoration come soon. We are exhausted, but we are holding on to You. Amen.
