What do you do? How would you pray?

Question

When someone that you trusted and loved, (in this case,my mom) lies about you?

I recently became aware that my mother has lied and said absolutly dreadful things about myself and my children.(all grown women). I was told by another member of the family that they never want to have contact with us again.

I am devastated by this. And while I can live without seeing my family again, I know that this hurts my kids about their grandma...and that they would want their children to see their great grandma.

Answer 1

Lord I entrust these children into thine hands. Lord at the middle of this mess, you know how to control situations YES you are the MASTER and we totally surrender this case into thine hands. BLESS that mom Lord and bless her, let your Light shine forth unto her. If at all any has wronged Lord forgive them, I pray. and heal this wound. YES AND I pronounce death to the spirit trying to split this Family. Restore back the peace and harmony into this family. Coz this family belongs to God, ANd I pronounce Victory in the Blood of Jesus. Yes Lord entrusting ourselves into thy hands, we ask this in the mighty name of JEsus who is the answer of all. AMEN

Just Forgive, dont retaliate or provoke situations. Bless your mom and Important...PRAISE GOD for everything

Praise really really works..Sister, I would urge you to start prasing God for the situation. Daily take time to Praise God. AND whatever is your need it will be answered.

Answer 2

That is so hurtful....I am so sorry as I know this causes you extreme pain. I would cry a lot....talk to my kids...even grown ones...and let them know it is not them. I would spend extra time with them and make your own memories that no one can take away. Time heals....at least sometimes it does. When people see how foolish they have been and how much they will miss....they may come to you. I would pray to have a forgiving heart and to be able to show Jesus' love to them even though they hurt you this bad. If you don't...even if they don't ask for forgiveness....it will eat you up like cancer! That is what the devil wants...to split families apart like this....don't let him win! My heart goes out to you and I will pray for you.

Answer 3

Wow, well I would pray whether I should confront my mother or the people who are gullible to believe the things she told them. If so, dang, I would calmly ask her what made her do such a thing. Hopefully she will confess and feel guilty enough to right her wrongs. If He wants you to leave it alone and let karma take it's course, then do so. I wish I had an easy answer for your grandchildren - but I simply don't.

Answer 4

I would pray that God would work this situation out. That if your mother truly did say things that were not true, that God would speak to her about what she did, convict her heart, and have her apologize. I would not take up the matter myself, AT ALL. You will get more into a mess. Ask the Lord to work it out, and patiently wait. Don't be defensive, allow the Lord to be your shield, your defense. May God give you the grace and courage to step back and allow Him to solve this problem.

Answer 5

People can always disapoint us, even loved ones. I know I disappointed my parents many times when I was young. Forgiveness is the heart of my faith. Try to forgive, as you would like to be forgiven. It is a difficult calling to which Jesus commands us, but in the long run it will bring healing. Remember also: Forgiving her is more a matter between you and God, than between you and her.

Answer 6

I knowabout this as I hve suffred this from family, tho not from my mother. She was a saint. PTL. But, I have had this from a few ppl in my life that really hurt me that I had trusted and loved, and it about destroyed me, as I held onto anger and pain for so many years, and it almost became impossible to let it go.
God showed me that when ppl do that , they are hearing the devil, and they are hurt by someone too. Hurting ppl hurt ppl, mean ppl make other ppl mean, and it goes on and on, bringing generation curse right along with it. You must not execuse what she did, but to forgive it, and keep her in prayer and dont give up on her changing. Pray Jesus to become very real to her, and wait for it to happen. Never give up in prayer for her, but know thats its also ok for you to speak to her as we are here, and let her know you are hurt and need space, that you forgive her, but need time apart to pray about what she has done and to heal. But, never resent her, jsut forgive her, love her and pray. But, if she wont stop what she is doing, you wont be able to be around her very much, or she will take the joy that the Good Lord gives to you, and thats wrong. But, no matter what, forgive her and move on. What you hold against her, God will hold against you, and remember your children will learn how to handle things by how you handle them. Forgive and move on, but dont allow it to continue. Speak it in love to your mother, and leave it up to her whether she will hear and honor you or not. Then make the choices you must make to keep your own joy and peace and set heathy Christian boundaries. Teach your chidren the right way to do this, they are watching...

Answer 7

It's a deep wound, but you must forgive.
Have you spoken with your mother?
Remember who is behind this. We wrestle not against flesh and blood.
So far as it lies within your power seek to reconcile and live in peace with her.
As for the rest, commit it to the Lord and let Him vindicate you.

"Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:3

Answer 8

Well, I'm Hindu. I'm really devoted to God, but somehow, I don't like going to temples! The reason is is that I am really self-conscious about my disorder - Parry Romberg Syndrome. But, thats not the point here. Well, my dad has a similar problem. In the Hindu religion, w have casts, as you may already know. I'm 15, so I know a little about this. Well, my brother wanted to get married, but with someone outside our cast. My parents didn't really like that, but my brother still wanted to do everything to be with her. So, my parents allowed it, but all ties between my dad and his parents were gone when my brother got married, and he never talked to them in years. But as we say - do whats best for your loved one(s). My dad surely didn't like it and he cried because he never saw his parents after the marriage, but one day his parents called, and soon everything was getting better. This was probably because our consistent praying to God! Hope this helps and good luck. Remember, you're not losing them, they're losing you.

Answer 9

all you can do is forgive and pray for healing and restoration.
Continue to acknowledge birthdays, anniversaries, mothers day etc. with cards and notes of love. Send flowers. Never speak ill of tlhem. Always, when talking to others about them, be encouraging and mean it. Eventually they will realize that they have hot coals burning on their heads and wonder why. Hopefully they will ask your forgiveness and restore their relationship.

blessings :)

Answer 10

Call a family meeting if possible and confront her. Pray ahead of time. Or write your family members letters explaining and asking their consideration. Good luck
