Let us first thank God you found us. We will begin praying for this situation, seeking God's will and intervention in Jesus' name. We are reminded in Philippians 2:4 WEB Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. God justly expects J to fulfill family responsibilities. First Timothy 5:8WEB But if anyone doesnt provide for their own, and especially their own household, they have denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. In all our prayers, we are instructed in John 14:14 that we can ask anything in Jesus' name. No other name is given for salvation.
The Apostle Paul admonishes us in First Timothy 5:8 to take care of our families.
Lord Jesus,
Convict J to the point of heart felt confession that his heart needs to be changed from focusing on himself so much and confess that selfishness is sin.
Heavenly Father,
Holy Spirit,
Convict J to the point of heart felt conviction that he is hurting members of his family.
We rejoice together, for God hears us when we pray in Jesus' Name. In First John 5:14 WEB This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
The word of God assures us that we can trust him. Proverbs 3:5 WEB Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and dont lean on your own understanding. So we trust God is working in J's heart, convicting him, and drawing him to take care of parental duties. In the name of Jesus, we agree together asking God to draw J to sincerely repent. We are assured in the word of God that the word of God does not return void in Isaiah 55:11, but achieves the purpose that it is sent.
With regard to the issue you are facing with work hours, we remind you of God's admonition in Second Thessalonians, 3:10 WEB For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone isnt willing to work, neither let them eat.
God has made it so that we have to work to have money to earn a living. The Lord Jesus through compassionate prayer. Your decision is very wise. You can work to pay for your needs that J will not pay for because he has not been doing his job.
Lord Jesus,
Let those responsible for paying be convicted by the Holy Spirit and give right payment. Convict those in charge of those that pay. We rebuke you Satan and your followers for making it difficult to work the needed hours at your job.
We ask you J to bring your selfishness to the Lord Jesus in prayer, we also ask you to bring your pain to Jesus and accept him as your savior. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The next step is to get baptized in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sin and to receive the Holy Spirit. Trust in Jesus. Call on the Holy Spirit to help you to love and pray for J. He will change your life if you call on him and seek his will for your life for he desires you to enjoy eternal life with him in heaven. Watch J and those people responsible for paying as the Holy Spirit speaks to their hearts.
This is your responsibility as a Christian. And help that if you do work, you do have the means for your financial needs. Trust God, as he has come to your assistance. Remember, your heart will be restless until you rest in God, your creator for he loves you.
