FEELING USED? One of the most disturbing things that can keep us awake at night is the feeling that were being used by someone. The seeds for this sleepless night are usually planted several days earlier, when you began to suspect something isnt right with a relationship. Suddenly, it becomes obvious that you arent being loved for yourself, but rather for what someone thinks they can get from you. How distressing! As you lie awake, a battle rages in your mind: Am I supposed to be a doormat and let them use me? Would this honor the Lord? Is this what it means to be submissive? Do I have the right to get angry? Lord, I dont want to put up with this! What does God say? What is His formula for putting these thoughts to rest and getting a good nights sleep? He says, ...pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you... (Matthew 5:44, NKJV). The key lies in prayer. Once you begin blessing and praying for those who spitefully use you you will sleep like a child. Granted, all your questions about how to handle this situation may not be answered immediately, but at least you will be at peace with God so that He can later instruct you on how to proceed. Then, whether He tells you to leave the situation or to endure, you will know that you are in His will! Our Evening Prayer - Lets Pray Together... God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me: Heavenly Father, right now I fully forgive ________________ for using me. Help me to pray for them so that You will be glorified. Thank You that I can rest in complete faith that You will guide me in handling this, and hearing Your voice, I will do Your will. In Jesus Name, Amen.
