Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Steven Bobb and their current situation with their family. Lord, we acknowledge that dealing with difficult family dynamics can be challenging and draining. We ask for your intervention and guidance in this matter.
Lord, we pray that you would touch the hearts of Steven's family members. Soften their hearts and help them to see the impact their actions are having on Steven's life. We ask that you would bring a change in their attitudes and behaviors, that they may become more considerate and selfless.
In your Word, you remind us in Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." We pray that Steven's family would be convicted by this truth and choose to divert their attention elsewhere, allowing Steven the freedom to live his own life.
Lord, we also pray for Steven during this challenging time. Grant him strength, patience, and wisdom as he navigates these difficult family dynamics. Help him to set healthy boundaries and prioritize his own well-being. Surround him with a supportive community that can provide encouragement and guidance.
We trust in your faithfulness, Lord, knowing that you are able to bring about transformation and reconciliation. We thank you in advance for the work you will do in Steven's family. May your peace and love prevail in their relationships. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
