We understand that you're hurting, Natasha, and we want to lift your situation up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance. Firstly, it's important to remember that God calls us to forgive and love even when it's difficult. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
However, it's also important to address the issue at hand. Your brother's behavior may not be aligning with Godโs will. The Bible tells us to honor our parents in Ephesians 6:2: "Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise." We must understand that by neglecting his connection with his family members, and if he was not coming to look for for spouce, he may be avoiding a God-designed responsibility.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ lifting up Natasha and her family. Lord, you know the pain and disappointment they are feeling due to the actions of their son and brother. We pray that you will soften his heart and bring conviction upon him. Help him to understand the importance of family and the responsibility to honor his parents as your divine word commands in Ephesians.
We also pray for Natasha and her parents, that you will fill their hearts with your peace and comfort. Help Natasha's mom and dad to have a divine understanding of every situation they are involved in with their son. May they retain trust in who you are and the power in your will. Help them to forgive and love unconditionally, just as you have forgiven us, ijn. Leviticus 19:18 says "you shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh."
We pray that true repentance and reconciliation would take place, and that Natasha's family be restored, serving God in truth and honesty.
We call upon the name of Jesus, as we learn in Acts 4:10-12, "...let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth... In him is the stone... there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
"We ask this in the blessed and precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Lastly, Natasha, we encourage you to continue praying and trusting God with this situation. The consequences of avoiding your family must be distinct to your Brother. Remind him of his responsibilities to his family, as the scripture says. God is faithful, and he will work all things together for good for people who love and obey him according to Romans 8:28. We pray for more fruit in your brothers life Galatians 5:22 should be discussed with him and what it means. May God be with your family and heal your hearts.
