Prayers for someone who caused me great hurt. Help

Ralf624 · Jul 25, 2017

This is difficult for me, I don't want to do it because I want to make my self feel righteous. I don't want it to feel force or untrue. This person has told me things that really hurt, has done things that really hurt, and continues to do these things maybe just to cause harm or not. But I have come to know of things: I don't know why this person would tell me. Even now after hearing somethings; I was told "I'm not telling you cause I want sympathy". but I feel hate from them and I feel anger and resentment from me. It's hard but I know what they are going through wethere is a lie or not. And all the hate I'm harboring now. I don't want it. I want to find peace, I want to ask for them that their troubles are meet with the power of God and he takes their burdens and hard times away. though it infuriates to ask for it I don't want to feel righteous or say they deserve it at their expense; I keep fighting my self. Because I am no better and just another human. As much I loved this person, I just now want to pray for their problem and ask the Lord to give them strength. Please pray with me, for me, to give me the strength to mean my prayer as I will pray for them. To give me the strength to mean it and touch my heart to do so. Father let it be your will through me as I pray in their time of trouble and need.

I'll pray for you, but remember you don't have to feel it to pray it. If you pray for them despite it feeling fake - it's alright. Ask God to give you the feelings in His time.

well my friend im going to give you some wisdom.... its said to know a tree by its fruits.. you dont go to a thorn bush looking for grapes now do you?... the same thing will apply to this person.. now if you dont want to avoid them and you wanna keep pursuing whatever it is that you are pursuing (i think understanding that is kinda important here too) you are going to have to put your feeling on the sideline... knowing that your are jumping into a thorn bush so when you go to this person that keep hurting you... expect to be hurt because that seems to be nature of them in the way that you speak about it... this you can do.. but i still think its very important to know what it is they are doing... what it is you are doing.. and why is it that you keep going back and what is your prayer exactly?

It's interesting how when God delivers us from certain things we thing can discern them so easily in others. It's like, "Been there and done that." Sometimes I will counsel with someone regarding his or her own family members. They may say something like, "Pray that God will take someone out of my son's life that is destroying him." Well, I have to look at the motivation, from a Pastor's standpoint.

Thanks for sharing that I actually have been following Michael criswell(sp) for a bit. His testimony and things he has gone through are something else.

I can understand the emotional pain you expressed, friend. Know that I’ll be praying for you, asking the Lord to reveal His loving presence to you in a special and powerful way, filling you with His peace and strength in the days ahead. Don’t you think it’ll be wise to keep a healthy boundary from such friends? God’s best to you!

I am trying I really am. But I also think what would be the righteous thing to do. In a certain situation I wanted not to say anything encouraging I wanted to be spiteful my heart said they deserve it but deeper inside I felt something saying be bigger show them different. So I said as vaguely as I could find words not wanting to even say anything, for them them to stay strong and cheer up. While burning inside.

@LastAcorn99 I have been praying and asking God. But I'm starting to draw away. I was going to church but the past two Sundays I was there at service but not present. In one of those I was condemning god. After that I haven't gone, I feel he is unjust, unfair. In the story of the prodigal son. The father throws a party, where was my welcoming, I came home after rejecting him so long I came back home I was meet with more problem than I care to recall now. I understand the son who confront the father for not showing him love, yet he says everything of mine is yours, then why was your love favorable. That's not sovereign. I have asked the father to take me on many occasions he refuses, I want to meet him say your method is wrong, your mystic is wrong your absence is wrong. If they needed a burning bush, thundering clouds, to see that is god where is my burning bush. The little mustard seed is disappearing and he doesn't care. It's the only reason I am here holding bon to what little I have left.

My heart goes out to you, friend. I want you to know that it’s okay to be angry at God when we cannot explain why He allowed certain situations in our lives or feel distant from us when we’re really calling out to Him. If I may, I encourage you to tell God your hurt and your pain, be real, and tell Him everything that’s on your heart - write it down, if you can – then, get alone with Him and let Him quiet you with His love. I’ve been there, I’ve done this, and I know that God will come through for you. Why? Because He loves you enough that He died for you. I also suggest you read the Psalms, they were written in the midst of the darkest hours of life, in situations just like yours. I’ll continue to pray for you, asking the Lord to mend your brokenness, heal your wounds, and fill the empty spaces in your heart. He can work in amazing ways, and I trust that you’ll sense how much He loves you in the coming days. Hang in there, okay?

LORD, please heal this person from their emotional pain, LORD, and please keep all toxic people out of their life. Amen.

Father, You tell us to ask (pray), not necessarily how to feel. You see the sincerity of this one's heart, and the recognition that their own heart is deceitful, but that they want to do the right thing. So I pray that You will answer according to Your righteousness, and in faithfulness to Your own word, for Your own glory, and for the good of this one prayed for, and for the good of the one making the request. Amen.
