How can I continue to stay strong physically and mentally while being wronged by people who are close to me?
Do you have suggestions about how to endure when people are lying about you? Even some of my family members have turned against me.
Ephesians 6:10 - 18
ESV - 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

Sometimes those we love unconditionally and give our whole hearts to may lead you to believe that they will do the same and you will believe it. We have Divine power through The Father and Christ," Through God all things are possible".
We learn to late in life that most of the time those we come to count on and depend on are the first ones to abandon us when life becomes difficult. Who knows why maybe they never really cared or you were the best choice for that persons certain point in life. Humanity even Christians can be difficult and cold and will shatter your heart and never look back. We are all born into a world of sin, sin is always around us taunting us pushing us to do things without first seeking the council of God. The only people we can change are ourselves no matter how hard we try or how hard we believe we can we can change others. All we can do is try to guide them to the One that can if they refuse or choose to live in a life of perpetual sin that's their choice and just as we will have to answer for our sins they will too.
Just one example is marriage I know couples married 30 years that suddenly divorce it's a sad situation. I just know that if I give my oath to do a certain thing that's what I am going to do regardless if my spouse does or not.
