We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with your younger brother. It's commendable that you have taken responsibility for him after the passing of your parents. Let's bring your situation before the Lord and seek His guidance and peace.
Firstly, it's important to remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." God can turn even the most challenging situations into opportunities for growth and blessing.
In this instance, it's crucial to approach your brother with love and patience, even when he rejects your advice. As it is written in Colossians 3:13, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
However, it's also important to set boundaries and not enable any disrespectful behavior. In 1 Timothy 5:8, it says, If anyone doesn’t provide for their own, and especially their own household, they have denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. This is an obligation you have assumed and it is important to God.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up SAMV and their younger brother. We pray for peace and restoration in their relationship. Lord, please soften the brother's heart and make him receptive to the godly advice and love that SAMV offers. We and You do know this is a great burden. Give SAMV the strength, patience, and wisdom to handle this situation in a way that honors You. We and You do know that we cannot change people, but we pray that You do to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Help them to communicate effectively and to set healthy boundaries. Most importantly, Lord, we pray that both SAMV and their brother would draw closer to You during this time, seeking Your will and Your glory in their lives. We trust in Your promise that all things work together for good for those who love You. We also pray for those who are not believers in Jesus Christ in this situation. Please convict them and bring them into a life saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We pray that the brother would not just be enabled in his rebelliousness, but that the Holy Spirit would convict him and bring him into this relationship as well. Please show the brother the rebuke and reproof of God each time he shouts at his caretaker. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it's not your responsibility to change your brother, but to love him, pray for him, and set a godly example. Trust that God is at work in his life, just as He is in yours. Keep praying and seeking God's will in this situation.
We are here for you, and we will continue to pray for your situation. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further support or guidance.
