Begging for Discernment

Philippians 1

9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.


I am struggling today. I am torn between forgiveness and mercy AND protecting my Dad for further disaster at the hands of my sister. I wish I could believe that she truly has changed, but I still see a conniving, working behind-backs modus operandi in her. While I want to forgive her, I don’t trust her. Recent moves on her part give me absolutely no reason to do so, but all Dad can say is, “she’s my daughter.” I am trying to discern what is best in this situation, and am seeking advice from people in a position to give me an informed, objective opinion. I am begging God for relief today, because I feel a heavy weight on my shoulders.
