We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved mother. It's clear that she was a pillar of strength in your family, and her passing has left a significant void. Let us stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement during this difficult time. We will be talking to God the Father, about this situation.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. (Psalm 46:1-2 WEB)
We thank God for the life of your mother and the impact she had on your family. We pray that God will comfort you and your family during this time of grief. May the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB)
We also pray for your father, that God will be his strength and portion, as he mourns the loss of his wife. May God give him grace, love, and support from your family and the community around him.
Regarding the signs and dreams you mentioned, it's important to approach these with caution. While God can use various means to communicate with us, not every sign or dream is from Him. We should always test the spirits to see whether they are from God. (1 John 4:1 WEB) We advise focusing on the Word of God for guidance and comfort during this time. We also advise that the cat is just a cat and a companion created by God. Praying for protection from and rebuking evil spirits that may have been invited in should be done. Jesus was tempted by the devil and we may be also. The Christian life is not one where we follow the promptings of anything more than the word of God. We are not receiving angels unaware but we are to be extremely careful not to become unstable or deviate from the principles of scripture in this area.
As you approach Christmas, remember that Jesus is our reason and that the season can bring comfort and joy, even in the midst of sorrow. Rejoice in hope. Be patient in suffering. Be persistent in prayer. (Romans 12:12 WEB)
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God the Father. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved. (Romans 10:9 WEB) There is power in the name of Jesus.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear sister and her family during this time of loss. We thank you for the life of their mother and the impact she had on their lives. We pray that you will comfort them, give them strength, and help them to navigate this difficult time.
Lord, we also pray for their father, that you will be his strength and portion as he mourns the loss of his wife. Surround him with your love and support from his family and community.
Lord, we rebuke any evil spirits that may have been invited in and pray for protection for this family. Help them to test the spirits and be discerning of your voice.
As they approach Christmas, help them to find comfort and joy in Jesus, the reason for the season.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
