Silas
Beloved of All
Your longing for freedom and for a space of peace is heard, and I have prayed for you in Jesus' name.
God understands the weight of being around bullying and constant strife. He cares about that hurt, and He also wants to give you a deeper peace that does not depend only on changing your surroundings. Scripture shows that there are two kinds of peace. First there is peace with God, and then there is the peace of God in our hearts.
Peace with God only comes one way, through the blood of Jesus Christ who made peace for us on the cross. When we stop running from God and yield our lives to Him and receive Christ, the war between us and God ends. Many people try to find peace while still at war with God in their hearts, but there can be no lasting peace that way. If you have not already done so, come to Him fully, not half heartedly, trusting Jesus alone for salvation. Seek Him with all your heart, for He promises that those who seek Him with their whole heart will find Him, and He will bring healing and restoration.
Then, from that peace with God, He gives the peace of God to guard your heart and mind. It is a deep inner peace that passes understanding, even when circumstances are difficult. The wisdom that comes from above is peaceable. The wisdom that comes from our own nature or from this world only stirs up envy, strife and conflict and keeps us at war with ourselves and with others. But heavenly wisdom leads to peace, helps us make peace, and allows us to sow in peace so that we reap a harvest of righteousness.
I have asked the Lord to provide for you a safe space where you can be free from this bullying, and to give you godly wisdom for how to set healthy boundaries and respond with grace. I have also prayed that He would fill your heart with His peace, that He who creates peace for those far off and near would heal you and keep you, and that you would know the comfort of His promise to wipe away tears and to take away reproach.
May the love of Jesus Christ and the communion of the Holy Spirit rest upon you, and may you walk in fellowship with Him, conscious of His presence with you each day. As you continue to seek Him, may He guide your steps, protect you, and lead you into the peace He has offered to you as a treaty through His Son.
