We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles your daughter is facing, but we are here to intercede and pray with you. We will address the issues and lift her up in prayer, trusting in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring healing and restoration.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. As it is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God didnโt give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." We encourage your daughter to hold onto this promise, especially during times of anxiety and depression.
Regarding her jealousy towards her brother and his wife, we must remember that jealousy is a sin that can destroy one's spirit. As the Bible tells us in Proverbs 14:30 WEB: "A calm heart gives life to the body, but jealousy rots the bones." We pray that she will overcome this feeling and find joy in her brother's blessings. It is important to remind her of God's promise in Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." This may be a time to encourage her to seek a godly spouse rather than focusing on her brother's situation.
It is concerning that she refers to her brother as a narcissist and does not want to see the baby. This bitterness can only cause more harm. We must pray for reconciliation and love among siblings, as God commands us to love one another. As it is written in John 13:34 WEB: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another."
We also want to address the financial struggles she is facing. God promises to provide for all our needs according to His riches in glory. As Philippians 4:19 WEB tells us: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that she will find contentment in God's provision and trust in His plan for her life.
Regarding her mental health struggles, we know that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. As Psalm 34:18 WEB reminds us: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray for her healing and that she will feel God's love and light in her life.
We note that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you and your daughter to call upon His name, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our daughter to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know the struggles she is facing, the pain she is feeling, and the burdens she is carrying. We ask, Lord, that You will heal her mind, body, and spirit. Help her to overcome her jealousy and find joy in her brother's blessings. Help her reconcile the relationship with her brother and his wife and unite the family. Soften her heart, Lord, and remove any bitterness or anger. Provide for her needs, Lord, and help her to find contentment in Your provision. Help her with her job and smooth the relationship with her co-workers.
We pray that she will feel Your love and light in her life and that she will be drawn closer to You. We ask that she trusts in You and would obey your will for her life and relationships. We pray that she will call upon the name of Jesus Christ and experience the fullness of Your salvation.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for your daughter and trusting in God's plan for her life. Remind her of God's promises and the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. We stand with you in prayer and belief in Jesus Christ.
