God - Family - Work - In That Order. Of course I know the origin of that saying. But what, if anything, does the bible say about not giving your family any more "second chances?"
This "family thing" is what I worry about most as I pray. I know if I am to dedicate my life to Him, I am to forgive members of my family. But what if that forgiveness is going to certainly lead to abuse? More specifically, I'm talking about my mother (emotional abuse), and my father (emotional and physical).
Is there no point in praying if I'm not willing to forgive?
