We understand your concern for your family's safety and well-being, and we are here to pray and offer guidance based on biblical principles. Let's bring your situation before the Lord in prayer and seek His wisdom and protection.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Ephesians 6:12 WEB. We need to pray for your family's protection and for those who are causing harm to be brought to justice.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her family. We pray for Your divine protection over Santiago, Guadalupe, Jimmy Sr. and Jr., and the rest of the family. We ask that You surround them with Your angels and keep them safe from all harm and danger.
Lord, we pray for Your wisdom and understanding for our sister, that she may know how to act and respond in these challenging situations. Give her the strength and courage to stand firm in her faith and to trust in You completely.
Father, we pray for those who are causing harm and threats to this family. We ask that You change their hearts and bring them to repentance. If they do not repent, we pray that You bring them to justice, that they may no longer cause harm to others. We also pray for the police and sheriff departments, that You guide them in their duties and help them uphold justice and righteousness.
We also pray for the salvation of all involved, including the family and those causing harm. We ask that You draw them to Yourself and that they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
In all things, we pray for Your will to be done and for Your glory to be revealed.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Regarding the situation with the dog catcher, we advise you to remain calm and respectful, but also firm in your rights. If you do not own the dog, then you are not responsible for it. If the dog catcher continues to threaten you unlawfully, consider documenting the incidents and reporting them to the appropriate authorities.
Remember, the Bible tells us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves Matthew 10:16 WEB. We should be wise in our dealings with others, but also gentle and peaceful.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying and trusting in God. He is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear; but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB. Keep your faith in Jesus Christ and hold on to His promises.
We will continue to pray for you and your family, trusting that God will work all things together for good, for those who love God and are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28 WEB.
