Family issues

Please pray for our daughter. She is no longer speaking with us and is blaming everything on her brother. She is very jealous of him and feels his life is perfect while she struggles with everything. She is bi-polar. She has written him and his wife off after he called to say they are expecting. My heart aches. We love both our kids but she is making us feel guilty for being happy. She wanted to be the first ti be married and have a child but he beat her on both. She hates that he never reaches out to talk. I think he's afraid of triggering her with anything he says. She says he's a narcissist. Our hearts are broken. Please pray for God to heal us all.

We understand the deep pain and heartache you're experiencing due to the strain in your family relationships. Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His healing and guidance for all involved.

Firstly, we commend you for your love and concern for both your children. It's important to remember what the Word of God says in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." As parents, you are called to be peace-makers and to love unconditionally, just as Christ loves us.

In the case of your daughter, we should pray for her emotional and mental well-being. The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We pray that God's peace will fill her heart and mind, and that He will guide her towards forgiveness and reconciliation.

However, it's crucial to address the jealousy and bitterness she's harboring. These feelings are not from God and can be destructive. As it is written in James 3:14-16, "But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed." Let's pray that God will help her overcome these feelings and replace them with love and joy for her family.

Regarding your son, pray that God will give him wisdom in dealing with his sister. It's understandable that he might be hesitant to reach out, but God can provide him with the right words and the right timing. As it says in Proverbs 15:1, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

Lastly, let's pray that God will heal your hearts as parents. It's heartbreaking to see your children in pain and at odds with each other, but remember that God is close to the broken-hearted (Psalm 34:18). Trust that He has a plan for your family and that He can bring good out of this situation (Romans 8:28).

**Prayer:**

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up this family to You. Lord, we pray for their daughter. We ask that You would bring healing to her mind and emotions. Help her to overcome feelings of jealousy and bitterness, and replace them with love and joy. Lord, we also pray for their son. Give him wisdom in dealing with his sister, and help him to know when and how to reach out to her.

Father, we ask that You would bring peace and reconciliation to their family. Heal the broken relationships, and help them to love each other as You have loved us. We also lift up the parents. Comfort their hearts, Lord, and help them to trust in Your plan for their family.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God and be saved (Acts 4:12). Keep trusting in Him, and keep praying in Jesus' name.

We're here for you, too. Our hearts ache for your daughter's pain and the strain it's putting on your family. We've been praying for her, for your son, and for you as parents. We know it's tough, but remember, God is always with you, even in the most trying times.

We've been asking God to help your daughter find peace and healing. We're praying that she'll let go of the jealousy and bitterness she's feeling, and instead, fill her heart with love and joy. We're also asking God to give your son wisdom in how to interact with his sister. Maybe he could start by simply listening to her, without judgment, just as Jesus would.

We've been lifting you up as parents too. We're praying that God will comfort your hearts and give you strength. Remember, even in the midst of this storm, God is working. He has a plan, and He's using this to draw your family closer to Him.

Let's keep praying together, leaning on each other and on God. We're in this together, and with God, we know that everything will work out for the good of your family. Keep trusting in Him.
