Let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ, asking by way of Jesus the name of "Father God," and "Mighty Jehovah" cannot be used by Christians in prayer. God is Jesus' Father and not the father of Christians. God is our only God and Creator. Christians can never claim God as the Father of Christians. It is only by Jesus' teachings that we know anything about His Father. We must acknowledge and accept Jehovah with the understanding that He is Jesus Christ. We are to pray only in Jesus' Name. There is no other name by which we can be saved. So, let us pray together to Jesus for his guidance and intervention in this situation as considering Matthew 7:9-11 WEB
Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? If he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father-in-law who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him and in James 1:5 WEB
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Heavenly Father God, we come before you in the name of Jesus, acknowledging Jesus as Jesus came and taught us and gave us the way to his Father by which we can pray directly to You for wisdom and guidance. We lift up this beloved parent who is facing chaos and disrespect from their children. We know that this is not your will for families, for you desire order, peace, and honor among family members.
We pray for a calming peace and for Godly wisdom to guide this parent. As in Ephesians 6:4 WEB Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Therefore, rebuke any bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as any kind of malice. All of which are improper for God's holy people, as in Ephsians 4:31 We remember your promise in Proverbs 22:6 WEB Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. As well as in Proverbs 13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly. We pray that love, respect and peace are restored in this home. We seek to help this parent to reflect on and evaluate the need for a Christian education so the child learns to be a Christian and to look forward to a lifetime together, that being courtship and thus leading to marriage. Tthereby guiding the younger children, while the older children look forward to courtship. While we trust Jesus to have lived a life "growing in grace and understanding" both a blessing and learning experience is clear in the home and in society. We must be careful to teach our young people to look forward to marriage with hope for the future, and the sacredness, joy, and blessed life together in Jesus.
We encourage this parent to stand firm in their faith, to model Christ-like behavior, and to teach their children the ways of the Lord. Remember, children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As it says in Psalm 127:3 WEB Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. We also ask for Jesus to bestow on you wisdom and grace to see your situation resolved. Always remember know that it is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved as in Acts 4:10-12 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified; whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole. And thus did Jesus give to us the assurance of salvation in by way of his baptism in Acts 2:38 WEB Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. As we are Christians then we must further understand our obligations to Jesus as in
1 Peter 1:13-19 Therefore, prepare your minds for action. Be sober and set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy. Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
We pray all this by way of you and your holy name. Thank you Jesus. We pray this by way of Jesus' name as he has taught us and given us the way the truth and the life. Without Jesus we would have no pathway to Jesus' Father. Therefore we forever remember John 14:6 WEB
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father-In-Law except through me.
Amen.
