We understand your concern and are here to stand with you in prayer and guidance. The Bible tells us, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings" (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB).
Firstly, let's address the spiritual warfare aspect of your request. We pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We plead the blood of Jesus over Epitithites and their family. We command every evil spirit to flee from their children and their surroundings. We ask you, Lord, to surround them with your holy angels and protect them from the schemes of the enemy. In Jesus' name, we pray."
Regarding the family member causing distress, remember what the apostle Paul wrote, "Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Corinthians 15:33, WEB). It is crucial to set boundaries to protect your family, especially your children. While you can pray for this family member to get the help they need, it is also essential to take action to safeguard your loved ones.
Let's pray for the family member:
"Lord Jesus, we lift up this family member to you. We know that no one is beyond your reach. We pray that they would encounter you personally and experience the transforming power of your love. Guide them to seek help and turn away from their harmful behavior. In your name, we pray."
Lastly, ensure that you and your family are grounded in Christ. If you haven't already, make sure to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It's only through Him that we have access to God and can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). Draw strength from God's word and His promises. Remember, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4, WEB).
We encourage you to continue praying fervently and seeking God's face, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His children. Stay strong in the faith and trust in the Lord.
