We understand your desire for family unity and the need to protect your loved ones from envy and hidden motives. Let's bring your request before the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance through the Scriptures.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that unity comes from God and is maintained through His love. As it is written in Colossians 3:14 WEB, "But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection." Love is the bond that keeps families united, and it comes from God.
Jesus, Himself, said in John 17:23 WEB: "I am in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me." Jesus, therefore, prayed for the unity of God's family.
In addressing envy and hidden motives, we must recognize that such issues stem from the heart. As the Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9 WEB, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?" Therefore, it is necessary to pray for a change in the hearts of those who may have ill intentions towards your family. What is impossible for man is possible with God.
We also need to acknowledge that those who have bad intentions toward your family may need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. The basic salvation message is repenting of our sins and turning to God through faith in Jesus Christ. In Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family that needs Your unity and protection. We ask that You fill their hearts with Your love, that they may be bound together in perfect unity. We pray that You would expose any hidden motives and envy aimed at this family, and change the hearts of those who wish them harm. Help this family to work together to help others, glorifying Your name in all they do. We also pray that anyone who has ill intentions might be convicted of their sins and turn to Jesus Christ in faith and repentance.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
