Re: Jasmine You Are Special!

Hi! I feel sad for you, that your family treats you that way. I know sort of what you share. My family is similar in a lot of ways. I didn't cut all ties, just the umbilical cord, so to speak. I found that I had to start being strong, now that I'm an adult and have my own family to look after. So now when they talk negatively or put myself or my family down I tell them to stop and explain what they are doing, then I leave or get off the phone. You really don't need to cut all ties, just don't let them use you as their scapegoat. Slowly learn to stick up for yourself, (it is possible to do this in a loving manner). As for friendships, you can meet people that can be as loving and caring as family should be, you just need to know when a frienship is unhealthy you can cut the ties. You are not living your life to be abused. You should live your life to enjoy it, and be free.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I lift Jasmine to you now in prayer, please cover her in your love and protection. Show her the changes that need to be made in her life. Please bless her and show her how special she is to you, how you created her as one of your children, that you love and cherish her. Lord, be her Father and heal her wounds. Send your Holy Spirit to minister to her soul. Lord, have people come into her life to form good healthy friendships, people she can rely on as if they were "family". In Jesus Precious Name, Amen.
