I'm really struggling with a family member...
And now I don't want to see my family ever again, besides my own kids. I don't know what to do.
I really need prayer for God to give me the wisdom to maybe know how to either hang up on everybody and still succeed for my children on my own, or I need God to put this person in their place.
Sometimes one must do what he has to do in order to have peace in his or her life, I've done the same with some of my family members.Just cut him/her out of your life-
Jesus said "..a man's enemies will be the members of his own household" (Matt 10:36)
A family member of mine has got a nasty nagging streak so I cut them out of my life 10 years ago and haven't seen or spoken to them since, it was a nice clean break..
Thank you everyone. My prayers were answered and I was actually apologized to, which I was not expecting.
I pray everyday, I'm talking about family members who don't get the idea when you tell them to back off or respect you and instead spread gossip and try and cause you problems, people like that I don't need in my life and cut them out, as simple as that.@JohnPaul Prayer can indeed improve one's own heart approach to a stressful situation.....
@JohnPaul Ppl are in varying situations, I guess. I have no blood relation family members nearer than thousands of miles away; I guess this makes for a peaceful life in some ways, but different in others....I pray everyday, I'm talking about family members who don't get the idea when you tell them to back off or respect you and instead spread gossip and try and cause you problems, people like that I don't need in my life and cut them out, as simple as that.

These people will steal the shirt off your back if you’re not looking, Fluffy, I thought it was LadyOfFireAndLace?Perhaps, instead of talking about your family members who do not get what you are telling them so that they will leave you alone, if you followed Fluffy's example and instead asked God to include those family members among those who He will draw to Himself. The next step is to then thanked God in your times of prayer that He has hear this particular prayer of wanting God's intervention in your family member's lives and praising God for what He is doing and is about to do in their lives.
You may be surprised in the change of circumstances that you will find yourself in.
Shalom
I was also known as Fluffy. Changed my name, but I'm FYD.These people will steal the shirt off your back if you’re not looking, Flufyf, I thought it was LadyOfFireAndLace?
literally thieves, beyond redemption.
I’m not Jewish so I don’t know what shalom means, please speak English.
Wow I sincerely didn’t know that, my apologies Ma’am.I was also known as Fluffy. Changed my name, but I'm FYD.
Shalom is a very common Hebrew word for Christians to use. It means "peace."
It doesn't matter much to me what other people always do. I am not responsible for someone else's actions, but I can always have confidence in my relationship with God if I am earnest to do what is right.
Moments of selfishness might come and go, but God intervenes and if I am corrected, then I'll be corrected. I was corrected and blessed with reassurance because of it.
Proverbs 3:6
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
