Like most of us here, I have family and friends who are brainwashed and who will not wake up, and some who go so far as to ridicule my "conspiracy crap" .
It's the family that hurts. I have finally given myself permission to let go of the responsibility to save them by awakening them, and leaving that in God's hands. As a human and family member, I feel a little guilt, but I feel more empowered by the freedom to focus my time and energy on finding and bonding with like-minded people rather than wasting it on hopeless cases "because they're family" .
If my family comes to me and asks for help, of course I will help them. But I will not jeopardize my ability to protect and care for those who need me to seek that one lost sheep... that's Jesus' role, and if he works through me then so be it.
I will pray for them.
But I give myself permission to let go of the responsibility, guilt and related stress. And I encourage you to consider that if you have not done so. It's unique for each of us. Just know that it is okay.
Its one thing to do this with parents, in laws and brothers and sisters….its another thing when its your wife who was on the same page when you were married and somehow in the wake of 2020 lost her faith and became a leftist…i need your prayers
Hold strong and keep the faith. With God's help she can return. We are commanded to try to win our spouses over, but we were never told this responsibility would be easy. As watchman on the walls, our job is to warn of the danger coming - in love. Whether or not the warning is heeded, is upon the head of those hearing the warning. Stay right with your maker and let Him do the rest. This battle is His. Pray for her and yourself - the Father does hear! I pray brother that the Almighty Creator of the Universe give you strength, faith, peace, and endurance.
Thank you so much brother! It really does encourage me to strengthen my own faith and rely on His power not mine.
