| Lord please protect this child pf yours and cover them with the precious blood of Jesus Christ as your perfect will is done in their life and their situation. Bless them Lord and give them your peace and the strength to keep serving you. May they be an example of what you can do to people when they turn to you and love you. I pray in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, amen. |

I used to be involved in the new age. When I was involved in it, I dabbled in witchcraft and the occult as well. However, I repented of those things and gave my life back to Jesus. When I was walking through the process of coming back to Jesus, I became involved in a church that was the home church of someone that I had known in passing through college (I was a student back then). I trusted this person as a mentor and was very open with them about the lifestyle that I had lived during my time away from Christ because I was seeking their support, prayers and encouragement. This person ended up "outing" me as a "witch" to people that I had been in conflict with in the past. This was done way after I had decided to leave that lifestyle for good and I ended up becoming very disillusioned with my faith afterward and backsliding back into the new age. The same thing happened with a member of my mother's family shortly after I cut ties with the person that I mentioned above. This family member found one of my new age items in my home and began telling other members of the family that I was dangerous and involved with the occult. This happened during a period where I had made up in my mind that I was going to turn back to Jesus for good, however, I was still struggling with bitterness toward Christianity and was also struggling with being indecisive. I am writing this prayer request because although I haven't been involved in the new age or the occult for years and have completely turned my life around, the actions of those two individuals have irreparably harmed my life. Even though I gave my life back to Jesus completely, I still deal with judgment from the individuals that they talked about me to. I have been heavily bullied because of the things that they did and said about me. I am angry because they did not tell other people the things that they told them in order to lift me up in prayer but to make me look bad and both of them consider themselves to be Christian people. I am no longer in contact with either one of those individuals but I am struggling to forgive them. I should also mention that I am of Haitian descent on my father's side of the family. When I attended church with the person that I mentioned above, they made many derogatory comments to me concerning my racial background and unfairly connected my racial background to the lifestyle that I had been living. I was targeted with a lot of racism during the time that I attended their church and I am struggling to forget the experiences that I had there. Please pray for me. |
