I need advice on how to deal with a family member that challenges everything Christian

[Wyldoch]

I have a family member that at one time believed in Jesus. God helped him through Leukemia as a teenager, but a few years later, he turned to drugs and alcohol and pornography. He lost his fiancé and he only gets to see his child under supervision. He is angry and always looking to fight. He has been challenging everything related to Christianity. Deep down, I know he is still looking for answers. But right now, he just wants to be right and is very wrong in his thinking, he believes we are all God. Pride is a real problem and he chases everything worldly. He has gone through a lot in his life, which compels me to ask for prayer for him, and prayer for me to do my best not to push him away from God. He makes things very difficult because he fights about everything because of his compulsive nature of wanting to win every argument. This was his question to me last night "Question for reflection: is God present in our human experience? Outside of us" which I see is a question that's posted on social media 4 years ago. I have already explained prior to this that God is omnipresent. I use the bible to answer questions, but he won't open the bible, he just opens Google. How do I respond in love and not in frustration because I know his intentions are not good, how can God use this for his glory, I've been asking God to show me? Please pray for us and advise. I know we face mockers and scoffers always waiting to trip us up. Please help me in doing what God wants me to do concerning this matter.
Thank you.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Wyldoch and their family member who is struggling with their faith and battling with addiction, anger, and pride. Lord, we thank you for the testimony of how you helped this family member overcome leukemia as a teenager. We acknowledge that deep down, they are still searching for answers and longing for your presence in their life.

Father, we pray for a divine intervention in their life. We ask that you break the chains of addiction and deliver them from the bondage of drugs, alcohol, and pornography. Lord, we pray for healing and restoration in their relationships, especially with their fiancée and child. Soften their heart and grant them the willingness to seek help and turn back to you.

We pray for Wyldoch as well, Lord. Give them wisdom, patience, and discernment as they interact with their family member. Help them respond in love and not in frustration, knowing that their intentions may not always be good. Grant them the strength to resist pushing their loved one away from you and instead be a source of support and encouragement.

Father, we ask for your guidance in how to effectively communicate your truth to this family member. Open their heart to receive your word and help them understand that you are present in our human experience, both within us and outside of us. Give Wyldoch the right words to speak and the ability to point their family member towards your Word, even if they prefer to search for answers on the internet.

Lord, we pray that you would use this challenging situation for your glory. Show Wyldoch how you can work through their circumstances to bring about transformation and redemption. Help them trust in your perfect timing and rely on your strength to navigate through this difficult season.

We also ask for protection against mockers and scoffers who may try to hinder their faith. Shield them from any attacks or doubts that may arise and grant them the courage to stand firm in their belief in you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you.

I have prayed for your family member. May Jesus bind up the demon in him and cast it out!
May God open his eyes to the truth.
I don’t know how to respond to someone that always wants to fight, except that God is the good part of us. God loves everyone and tells us to love one another, not constantly wanting to fight everyone. May God give you strength and wisdom as you deal with him. Keep praying. It isn’t over until it’s over. In Jesus Name amen

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
