Joshua1+1, we empathize with the struggles you're facing and the impact they have on your family. It's important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB).
Firstly, let's address the core of your request. You've mentioned that the issues are affecting other family members. Remember, God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). It's crucial to involve your family in prayer and to ask God for His guidance and protection over each member.
You've also expressed that these issues are visible and can't be hidden. In this, we recall that God sees all things and understands our struggles. As it is written, "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6 WEB) There's no need to hide our struggles from God; instead, we should bring them before Him, seeking His light and guidance.
We commend you for giving permission to bring this matter up in our churches for prayer, fasting, and intercession. This aligns with the scripture, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." (James 5:16 WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Joshua1+1 and their family to You. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their lives. Help them to stand strong in the face of their trials, knowing that You are always with them. Grant them the wisdom and discernment to navigate these challenges. We also pray for their family members, that they may find peace and comfort in You.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray for healing, restoration, and the strength to endure. We ask for the Holy Spirit to guide them and to provide a way out of their troubles. We stand in agreement, believing that Your will shall be done in their lives.
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercies are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Joshua1+1, remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Stay strong in the Lord, and may His peace and love surround you and your family.
