Dear Defria, we are lifting up your family to the Lord in prayer, seeking His divine intervention for a healthier lifestyle for your brother and mother. We pray that God will grant them the strength and discipline needed to make wise choices regarding their health. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB), "What? Donโt you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Godโs."
However, we must address the reference to your daughters' and sons' step-daddy's nickname as "princess." This is concerning as it may imply a lack of biblical understanding of gender roles and the sanctity of marriage. We encourage you to pray for God's will in this situation and for His guidance in aligning your family with biblical principles. As Ephesians 5:22-33 (WEB) teaches us, marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, reflecting the relationship between Christ and the church.
Moreover, we noticed that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and can be saved. 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 to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is His name that carries power and authority.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Defria's family to You. Lord, we pray for her brother and mother, that You would grant them a healthier lifestyle, guiding them to make wise choices that honor You. We also pray for Defria's daughters and sons, that they would grow in the knowledge and wisdom of Your Word, understanding Your design for family and marriage. Lord, we ask that You would bring godly influences into their lives, guiding them in Your truth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May the Lord guide and bless your family, Defria, as you seek His will and wisdom.
