I hope you find the courage to walk away from anything that no longer gives you peace! When they do:
Remember to Pray for them. Be kind to those who hurt you. Show Patience. Keep Smiling away. In the long run life will prove itself to those who have hurtfully dealt with you.
Romans 12:19 - Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. - 2 Timothy 2:24

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, - Matthew 5:44
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. - Luke 6:27-28
So, whether others “persecute” or “abuse” or “hate” or “curse” us, we are to pray for them. What this command does is make God a necessary part of enemy love. Prayer is to God. Therefore, God is involved in loving our enemy. We are to turn to God when our enemy abuses us. We are to talk to God about this. We are to ask him to do something about this.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Dear Lord,
Please help me when those around me try to bring me down. Allow me to recognize the hurts and issues in their lives and how I can be of help to them. Help me to keep my natural human tendencies in check and not to retaliate back. Quietly remind me where my true worth and value really lie. Give me comfort in knowing that You are leading me on a better path and give me the strength to continue pursuing it. Please clear my heart of any issues that will hinder me from praying for those around me. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
1 Peter 3:9 - Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
Hebrews 10:30 - For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
Proverbs 20:22 - Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the LORD, and he will avenge you.
