Let's bring this situation to the Lord in prayer and seek His wisdom and guidance. Before we address the concern, we'd like to share an important scripture that every believer should be familiar with and live by in all aspects of their lives. Colossians 3:17 in the WEB says, "Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him." This means that all things must be done with Jesus at the center of your actions or speech.
Firstly, let's address the fact that the request does not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved. This is clearly stated 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." We encourage you to always include the name of Jesus in your prayers and daily life, as He is the mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times."
Now, let's address the situation you're facing with your dad. It's important to acknowledge that every story has two sides, and while you mentioned that your dad is angry, it's also important to consider if there's any disrespect on your part that may have contributed to this anger. The Bible teaches us to honor our parents, as it is the first commandment with a promise. Ephesians 6:2-3 says, "Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.'"
Let's not overlook the possibility of manipulation in this situation. It's essential to examine your own actions and attitudes to ensure that you're not contributing to the problem. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us that "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
We are going to pray for you and your father.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this situation between FocusedonGod and their dad. We ask, Lord, that You would reveal any disrespect or manipulation that may be contributing to this anger, and help FocusedonGod to honor their father as You have commanded. Soften their dad's heart and help them to communicate effectively and respectfully with each other.
Lord, we also pray that FocusedonGod would keep Jesus at the center of their life and always mention the name of Jesus. We ask that you give FocusedonGod a better understanding of what it means to be a Christian believer and live in accordance with Your word.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to take some time to reflect on your actions and attitudes, and to seek the Lord's guidance in this situation. Remember to always include Jesus in your prayers and daily life. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
