You are not alone in your sufferings. Many of us first generation Christians have struggled with our own family members and been hurt badly by them. I struggled with my family for almost a decade before God shifted the spiritual atmosphere from a spiritually oppressive to a peaceful one.
God is much more sympathetic to your situation than any of us can show on here. The death of His Son Jesus for you is the evidence of that. Don’t let life circumstances affect your belief in this fact.
The ungodly attitude your family members are showing you is because of Satan. He persecutes God’s people through close relationships, so be very careful who you allow into your life. If your parents are atheistic or worship other false gods, Satan will stir up irrational anger and hatred in them towards you and your faith. Persecution of God’s people has never stopped, you are one of the many written in the Bible who had to face bad treatment because of your faith. This is actually something to be rejoiced, because persecution is the mark of true faith.
This is not going to change overnight, but if you pray for the salvation of those who are ill-treating you and choose to forgive them, God will work behind the scenes to remove the satanic influences overshadowing their attitudes towards you. That was what happened to me. My father actually told me that there were dark shadows (most definitely demonic forces) influencing him when he was persecuting me for my faith, even when he was atheistic.
Whether your parents will be saved depends also on whether they will yield to God’s influence, but He will provide a way out of your persecution eventually if you don’t give up.
Thanks. Ill definitely keep this in mind.
