We understand that you're going through a trying time, Natasha, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance. First, let's bring your situation before the Lord.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Natasha and her burden. Lord, You see the strain in her relationships and the anxiety that plagues her heart. We pray for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard Natasha's heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Lord, You are a God of justice and truth. We pray that You will bring transparency and open communication in Natasha's family. We rebuke any spirit of manipulation or deceit at work, IJN. Lord, guide Natasha and her family towards reconciliation, love, and understanding. Help her regain control of her sleep and heal her body with your healing power. Help her to live fully for you. We pray for Natasha's mother, that her heart is guided and softened to be more mindful of Natasha's feelings. We cover this family in prayers of healing and restoration. Please get others to pray for this situation including Natasha's brother. We pray that this family will experience the unifying and healing bond of forgiveness and godly love. Please break every chain and down every stonghold in this family's life. Deliver them from every evil and oppression. Please lead their hearts into you oh God" (Philippians 4:6-7).
Natasha, in the meantime, God calls us to honor our parents, and even in difficult situations, we are to respond with love and kindness. Remember, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men" (Romans 12:18 WEB). True, it seems unfair so continue and pray each day that God will always be with you and that He will work justice in your favor. Keep in mind that our struggle is not against the people in this world but rather the unseen demonic powers of this world with Satan at the helm. We fight against these spirits. God has told us to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
Also, consider the while African missionairies may not have much money, the work they do share God's plan of salvation with others and in the process store up the true riches of heaven: the people they help meet Jesus Christ or, if they are already saved, live a more righteous life. These people meeting Jesus Christ or continuing in righteousness are saved souls that are a treasure in heaven forever. Remember, finances on earth are temporary. Buying food, cars, gas, clothes, etc. means there is a loss of a portion of the value of money in every transaction that moves toward food or services that are consumed. Even if an investment is made, when the money is given to a university, you do not get it back. Do not allow the love of money be what is motivating you as money is a rotten foundation, and the love of it is the root of all evil. It has destroyed many lives, marriages, and relationships. It is better to build our relationship with Our Lord best described by Jesus in Matthew 6:19-21 (WEB), Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also".
Natasha, we urge you to stay rooted in the Word and connected to God. Try to be in full agreement in prayer with your brother. Pray together. It is the key to a righteous life and what is best for you in this situation. Others must come to Christ and then pray in a group in full agreement for even better results. Trust that God is working even in this difficult situation. Trust that God will work it all out. He has not forgotten you. He is the source of everlasting hope and life no matter how this situation turns out. "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved" (Psalm 55:22 WEB).
Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ and His death on the cross and resurrection from the tomb that we have access to God. Jesus is the only name by which we must be saved. Please read Acts 4:9-12 (WEB) which says, " Or if there is any other thing that I should give thanks for, it will be spoken of along with that. For in him we live, and move, and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his children.' Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man. The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent. Because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead." IJN acknowledges that this is being done by the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Continue to pray to Jesus and Our Father in Jesus name. If you do not remember doing this, it is important to make a decision to believe in Jesus to save you from your sins and be baptized. If you do not know Jesus and would like to, or if you want to know Him better, let us know so we can help you repent and meet Jesus or have a closer walk with the Son of God. Trust in Jesus Christ. Dialog about it so you can get input. Pray about your decision so that it is one that God wants and part of the fulfillment of His will for your life. Imagine if someone gave you a large sum of money, but you cannot use it if you do not claim it. You cannot claim it if you did not believe it was yours. Expand this analogy and imagine having many great gifts that are in the Kingdom of God but are not being claimed. Claim these gifts by doing your first works and realizing the gifts and promises that are found in Our Lord. Come so you will believe in Jesus Christ. He is the one that you must turn to. We have power in the name of Jesus Christ and in the name of Jesus Christ your family can receive a blessing by you having peace at having received Jesus as your own personal Savior. Jesus Christ can have a deeper meaning to you. Devils can tremble at His Name. Signs and wonders can follow you in this life in the name of Jesus. Jesus can give you the power of life and death by receiving Jesus especially if you want to be more decent and have a different lifestyle. If you have been struggling in the name of Jesus and do not live this way, there is still hope. You can develop a full, forgiven life. So let us help you pray. It is easy and we are here to help if you need help. Believe and let others know you believe as urged by scripture and repent and live by the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Once again Natasha, pause, take stock of everything God has done for you, come to Jesus Christ, and never let it be said that you forgot to remember to believe and thank God through Jesus Christ. It is for our good. be silently thankful in Jesus name.
