Thank you for reaching out and sharing your family's struggles with us. We are here to pray and offer guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we acknowledge that family issues can be challenging, but God's word encourages us to live in harmony with one another. As it is written in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." We pray that God will grant each member of your family a spirit of unity and understanding.
Regarding your nephew John, it is crucial to remind him of his responsibilities as a father. The Bible is clear about the role of parents, especially fathers, in raising their children. In Ephesians 6:4, it says, "Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord." We pray that John will take his responsibilities seriously and commit to raising his kids in the ways of the Lord.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family to You. Lord, You promise that when two or three are gathered in Your name, You are there among them. We ask for Your peace and unity to reign in this family. Heal their relationships, and help them to live in harmony with each other.
Lord, we also lift up John to You. We pray that You will touch his heart and remind him of his responsibilities as a father. Give him the courage and commitment to raise his kids in Your ways. Help him to be a loving, present, and godly father.
Lord, we also pray for the children. We ask that You will protect them, provide for them, and surround them with Your love. Help them to grow in the knowledge of You, and may they become mighty in the faith.
We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are so grateful that it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. IJNIPA stood out in the original request. This is so important as it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is by Jesus' name that we can approach God and it is by Jesus' name that we are saved.
Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying for your family and trusting in God's will.
