Let us first turn to the Scriptures for guidance on this delicate family situation. The Bible tells us, Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you (Deuteronomy 5:16 WEB). It is clear that we are called to respect and honor our parents, but it is also important to note that this does not mean we should overlook or accept sinful behavior.
The daughter's decision to inform her father about his girlfriend's reputation was likely driven by concern and love, but it has understandably caused tension. The Bible tells us, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB) Her father remains angry and unforgiving toward his first wife, and his current relationship appears to be entangled in sin and community scandal.
Let us pray together for wisdom and guidance:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this family situation. Lord, we pray for the father, that You would soften his heart and help him to forgive his first wife, as You have forgiven us. Lord, we also pray for his girlfriend and her child, that they may come to know You and Your love.
Father, we pray for the youngest daughter. Give her wisdom and discernment. Help her to honor her father while also standing firm in her faith and convictions. Help her to have the wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent. We pray that she will continue to guide her father by loving you Lord. Remind her that she will be blessed when she does.
Lord, we pray for healing and restoration in this family. We pray that all involved would turn to You and seek Your will. Help the father's girlfriend to also turn toward you. We pray that the daughter and her father that they will have forgiving hearts, forgiving each other as you have forgiven us. We pray that You would draw them all closer to You.
Father, we also pray that this family would know the love of Jesus Christ and find their salvation in Jesus. Remind them that there is no other name by which we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage the daughter to continue praying for her father and his girlfriend. It is important to remember that it is not our job to convince but that it is the Holy Spirit's job to convict. We should continue to pray for them and love them.
She was correct to respectfully inform her father about the situation, trusting that God would use this information to bring light to darkness and lead her father to a place of repentance and restoration if it be His will. We should remember that God can use all situations and turn them for His good and His glory.
Finally, we encourage the daughter to remain steadfast in her faith and to trust in the Lord with all her heart, and not rely on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5 WEB).
We also remind the daughter that there is no other way to God except through Jesus. We also remind her that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. Encourage the daughter to continue lifting this situation to the Lord, trusting that He is working, even in the midst of this challenging time.
