I feel very sad and hurt right now, and like I'm such a lousy Christian. I don't always like people. I feel I can't trust anyone. I tell myself not to make certain mistakes and yet I still repeat them over and over. Loving and forgiving people is so hard, especially when they hurt me and sin all the time. Sometimes I feel I don't deserve forgiveness.

And every time I think I'm doing better...something else happens to hurt me. How can I see Christ in people who hate Him and love evil and do the opposite of what He would do? How can I learn to stop making the same mistakes over and over? How can I forgive people who clearly hate me and are avoiding me?

Please pray for me and for these people who are lost, that we all may turn from what is wrong and begin to do what is right.

Praying for you.

Also, asking the Lord to help remove their blinders as He did with us.

"...for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the wonderful news of the glory of Jesus Christ, who is the divine image of God." (II Cor 4:4).

....I feel I can't trust anyone.....

If a particular person is doing something repeatedly to the point where you can't trust them, you need to stay away from them. They are not good for you.

How can I see Christ in people who hate Him and love evil and do the opposite of what He would do?

What do you mean by "see Christ in people who hate Him"?

I pray that God would protect you and guide you. I pray that He would sanctify you into a strong follower of Jesus. Finally, I pray that God would help you know how to love your enemies while setting appropriate boundaries for them.

Dear Lord, I pray for encouragement for Multifavs. I pray that you would send better friends into his life, people who love You and shun evil, people who love him and wish to spend time with him. I pray for the teachers in the Lord that you have set over Multifavs, that you may give wisdom to them to give him on how to select better companions.

Finally, I pray for healing from the wounds that these hurtful companions have inflicted upon my friend, so his heart may be strengthened in the face of his enemies. Open his eyes to better discern each of these people and what they have done, that he may not take responsibility for their actions, but only for his own.
In Christ’s Name, Amen

Praying now!

Lord God I lift up Multivas to You right now and I pray for Your intervention in his current situation and that You would minister to him in his point of need, I pray for all sadness and hurt to go right now and that he would be able to forgive anyone in his lift that he needs to. I also pray for supernatural strength and encouragement for Multifavs and that Your hand of blessing would be upon him and also for the salvation of anyone in his life that does not know You. Thank you Lord!
