Beloved of All
My ### keeps making fun of my physical appearance. Can you pray he will stop? He's been doing it for years.

We understand the pain and distress that can come from hurtful words, especially from a parent. The Bible tells us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21 WEB) Words can bring life and encouragement, or they can bring harm and despair.
First, we want to remind you that your worth is not determined by your physical appearance, but by who you are in Christ. As it is written, " Man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7 WEB) You are beloved by God, and He sees the beauty within you.
We rebuke the harmful words spoken by your father. It is not right for him to mock or criticize your appearance. The Bible instructs fathers, "You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4 WEB) We pray that the Lord will convict your father's heart and lead him to treat you with kindness and respect.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved brother/sister who is hurting from the words of their father. Lord, we ask that You would touch their father's heart and bring conviction upon him. Help him to see the pain he is causing and give him the grace to change. We pray that You would heal the wounds that have been inflicted and help our brother/sister to forgive, as You have forgiven us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to lean on the Lord during this time. He is your true Father, and He loves you unconditionally. Trust in Him, and He will never disappoint you. If possible, try to have an open and honest conversation with your father about how his words make you feel. Do so with love and respect, as the Bible instructs us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12 WEB).
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 WEB) We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ if you haven't already, and to pray in His name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

Please pray for me. For some unknown reason my daughter, ###, skipped Christmas. She hasn't spoken to me in a year. I have no idea why. It appears she canceled from her life. I miss her so much. I've prayed for her to come back to us. Please pray for her and for us.
Please pray my ### relationship will survive this rough patch and they can work through it and move on and make fun memories together later this week.
