We are deeply touched by your family's struggles with health, housing, and spiritual direction. We want to lift you all up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, let's address the feelings of struggle and indecision. The Bible tells us, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30 WEB). Jesus doesn't promise a life free from trouble, but he promises rest and peace even amidst our storms when we surrender to him.
Regarding health, we know that God cares about our physical well-being. We pray for healing over your family, claiming the truth that, "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5 WEB).
For the housing issues, remember that God is our provider. We pray that God will open doors for affordable and stable housing, and that he will give your family peace and patience during this process. "But my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19 WEB).
Now, let's address the feeling of difficulty in committing fully to Christ. It's natural to feel this way, but remember what Jesus said, "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?" (Matthew 16:25-26 WEB). The decision to follow Christ might seem hard, but the reward is eternal life and an abundant life here on earth.
We notice that you didn't mention Jesus Christ directly in your request. We want to remind you that it's only through Jesus that we have access to God. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6 WEB). We encourage you to call upon his name, believe in him, and confess him as your Lord and Savior.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up Wilil and their family. We ask that you heal them physically, provide for their housing needs, and draw them closer to you. Give them the strength and faith to surrender their lives completely to Jesus Christ. In his precious name, we pray. Amen.
