Toxic
Their tongues sting like a snake (Psalm 140:3; NLT).
Like lions they open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into their prey (Psalm 22:13; NLT).
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my saviour; my God is my rock in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety (Psalm 18:2; NLT).
It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built (Luke 6:48; NLT).
Lord,
Please help me to recognise
Toxic people –
The selfish ones
Who drain me,
Giving nothing in return;
The angry ones
Who make me anxious
And afraid.
Help me to stand firm with you,
So I can protect my boundaries,
And stay away from toxic relationships.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
