We understand that you are seeking prayer for your sister, Maria, and we are here to intercede and offer guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, let's address the core of your request. It's commendable that you are concerned about your sister's salvation. The Bible tells us that God desires for everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB). Let's pray that God will open Maria's heart to the truth of the Gospel and draw her to Himself.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Maria to you. We ask that you would reveal yourself to her, Lord, and draw her to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Soften her heart to receive your love and truth, in Jesus' name.
Regarding the issues of hate, gossip, accusations, evil advice, and witchcraft, we must remember that God calls us to love one another, for love is from God (1 John 4:7, WEB). These negative behaviors are not from God and can cause significant harm. It's crucial to pray for Maria's heart to be filled with love, forgiveness, and kindness instead.
**Prayer:**
Lord, we ask you to remove any hatred, gossip, accusations, evil influences, and ungodly practices from Maria's heart. Replace them with your love, kindness, and wisdom. Protect her from harmful influences and help her to seek godly counsel, in Jesus' name.
It's also important to address the need for peace between you and Maria. The Bible tells us to live in peace with everyone, as far as it depends on us (Romans 12:18, WEB).
**Prayer:**
Lord, we ask for your peace to reign in Ricardo and Maria's relationship. Help them to forgive each other, to love each other, and to live in harmony, as you have called us to do. Guide their conversations and interactions, and help them to build a strong, loving bond as siblings, in Jesus' name.
Lastly, we noticed that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's essential to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). It is in His name that we pray, and there is power in the name of Jesus.
In all things, we encourage you to keep praying and trusting God. He is faithful, and He hears your prayers. Stand firm in your faith, and continue to be a loving witness to Maria.
