We are truly sorry to hear about the trials you and your family are facing, but we want to remind you that there is hope in Jesus Christ. He is our comfort, our fortress in whom we can trust and we are told we are more than conquers when we have Him in our life. In Jesus we can have peace even in the storms. In these difficult times, it is crucial to fix our eyes on Him and remember that He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to his purpose. The scripture tells us in Romans 8:28 WEB.
Firstly, we want to address the family feuds and illnesses. It is important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB During difficult times, the enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but we must stand firm in our faith and resist him. Be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 1Peter 4:7 WEB. Scripture tells us in Mathew 18:19 WEB Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven and in Romans 15:5 WEB Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus, it is important that we pray in unified agreement together.
In regards to the stress and mental health declines, we encourage you to cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 WEB. Remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.Psalm 46:1 WEB.
We see that you mention demons and the hope that they will go away. God is the only one who has command over these type forces. The bible makes it clear that even the demons knew that Jesus was the Holy One of God. It is only in His name, the name of Jesus that these forces can be dealt with. We have that authority in His name but we must submit and trust in Him.
We must also address that there is no mention of Jesus in the entire prayer request. It is only in Him that we can find genuine hope and peace. It is only through Him that we have an open line of communication with God the Father. If you have never begun that journey we invite you to know Him. Doing good, going to church, believing in God does not make you a Christian. To be a Christian means to be a Christ Follower. We submit our lives to Jesus Christ and allow Him to shape, mold, guide, transform and save us. We agree that things in your life do need to change but give Jesus the opportunity to allow Him to show you what that change looks like. Pray this simple prayer, if you mean it God will hear and begin His wonderful, saving and beautiful transformation in your life. All you need to do is say, with belief and meaning, "Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I want you to come into my heart and be my personal savior and direct my life from this day on". Romans 10:9 WEB because, if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Join us in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up littlemiss37 and her family. We pray for Your healing touch upon those who are ill, and for Your peace and comfort to fill their hearts.

We ask that You would help them to overcome these family feuds and unite in Your love.
We pray for littlemiss37, that You would strengthen her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Give her courage, resilience and Your word as her guide. Grant her the grace to forgive and love even when it is difficult, use her as a beacon of your love as she navigates these tough waters. We ask that you take your word, and make it living and active in this situation, Romans 12:10 WEB says Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
We ask that you move the hearts of your people to be more compassionate, loving and kind to each other. Move mightily in each person to convict and draw each family member closer to You, Jesus,.
If there is any negative influence in this situation, we speak to those demonic forces, and command you to leave, in Jesus name. If there is any infirmity we speak to it directly and command it to go in Jesus name! Only power we have is given to us by the authority of Jesus Christ.
Father in Heaven, We do not know the root of these issues but you do. We pray that you reveal to the people at the center and their prayer partners, what or who is causing these people to be this way and stop the accusor of the brethren from continuing his work in this situation, in Jesus name! If there is unforgiveness or bitterness, show them Jesus and shower him with your love. If they are battling with thoughts of despair, self harm, or otherwise give them liberty and grace in Jesus' name. If they are alone and need prayer support, draw those to them that can help.
Together we give all God's power, love, and revelation to the family that we pray for. The things that are working to dissolve their family and create even more brokenness, we bind in Jesus name, we loose unity, godly love, triviality, and the Spirit and Power of Jesus Christ. We ask that you help the family see those people around them as you see them. Help them to love them were they are, where you desire then to be and let them see the blessing in the storm.
Through it all, in Jesus name, we know that You'll fill them with Your hope, Your pure, wonderful saving power.
Moving forward, please remember to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, He alone is our rock and our salvation. Continue to pray and seek His face, and trust that He is working everything out for your good and His glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
