Let us bring Terry and his situation before the throne of grace, seeking God's will and intervention in his life. We thank God that this request is submitted in the name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus that we may approach God the Father. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 6:23 WEB.
In all things, we are to follow the teachings of our Lord. Regarding provisions for our needs the Bible says But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Matthew 6:33 WEB. Let us pray that Terry will do the same.
Concerning Terry's need for accommodation, we read in the Psalms. I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his children begging for bread. Psalm 37:25 WEB. Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. Psalm 37:3 WEB.
Regarding the situation with Terry's brother Godfrey, we must remember that we are to be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ also forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 WEB. Let us pray that Godfrey will demonstrate this kindness and provide a place for Terry. However, it is also important to remember that Godfrey also has a responsibility to his own family. We should be careful not to cause them to suffer by Terry moving in.
About the situation with Godfrey's wife, we must remember that a prudent wife is from Yahweh Proverbs 19:14 WEB. Let us pray that she is a Godly woman who does not attempt to sow discord between brothers Proverbs 6:19 WEB, but a woman who promotes unity and peace within her family.
Lastly, let us pray for the peace of God. The kind that has been promised in the Bible. The kind that surpasses all understanding. The kind that we cannot begin to fathom or comprehend. For God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB.
Let us pray.
Father God, we come before you today, lifting up Terry and his current situation. Lord, we ask that you guide Terry's steps and provide him with accommodations that will suit his needs. We pray for Godfrey, that you would soften his heart and make him willing to help his brother in his time of need. We also pray for Godfrey's wife, that she would be a gracious and willing helper, eager to do what she can to support Terry, and be an inspiration to her family, and not one seeking to cause discord, but one that strengthens the bonds within her family. Give Terry the wisdom needed to make decisions for his life. If it is not a good idea to have Terry live with his brother, please prevent it. Lord provide for Terry. Place him where you wish him to be at this time. Ultimately, we pray that through this trial, Terry's faith would be strengthened, and that he would live in the perfect peace that only you can provide. Guide Terry and help Terry to seek your righteousness first before anything else. Protect Terry and give Terry a home and if it is in Your will, help it to be a safe place. If your will is something other than Terry living with his brother, please prevent it. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
