Mariam was criticized by an acquaintance for not maintaining a relationship which had gone sour.
Mariam had continued to reached out for many years, to meet constant rebuffs and hurtful comments. Now in her mature years, she loved the person, prayed for them, but no longer reached out as before.
Rabbi Jesus soberly told her, "You stopped inviting the hurt."
Sometimes for the sake of your mental health, you need to stop the toxic cycle. You do not need to stop the prayers.
