Abusive Family Members - al1998 - 06-07-2022 04:25 PM
For God's protection from family members that have tried to harm my life in ways that are almost unbelievably evil since I was a child. Please pray that their behavior toward me will not negatively impact my relationship with God or keep me from living a normal and healthy life. I sometimes struggle with my self-esteem and seeking validation in romantic relationships. A lot of this is because of things that were done to me by these family members. Please pray that I will get over what they have done to me, forgive them and live a normal life in spite of it.

Oh Lord help this child of yours from all the abuse, if they have to walk away from it all give them the strength, wisdom, and means to do so. We should never stand for any abuse from another person, specially from those who supposed to love us and help us. Be with them and have all the abuse stop as you cover them with Jesus blood.
Bring salvation to this family Father in heaven, I pray in Jesus' mighty name, amen.

Hello, Al. It was heartbreaking to hear that you faced such a difficult childhood. I know that experiences like you’ve described can leave long-lasting emotional scars that remain through adulthood. Unfortunately, feelings of guilt and shame prevent many victims from talking about their past even though it can be tremendously healing to open up about these matters with someone who really cares. I encourage you to speak about your circumstances with your pastor, a counselor, or other trusted Christian friends.
I will be praying for you, asking the Lord to bring His grace and peace into your life. I believe that He is the great Comforter and Healer, and that, as Joseph observed, He is able to bring good out of the wrongdoing of others (Genesis 50:20). May this be your experience in increasing measure during the days to come.
Jesus has made you with a special purpose in mind. He has a job for you to do, and you are the only one who can do it. You are a masterpiece of God’s creativity, unique in all creation!
