We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles your family is facing, but we are here to stand with you in prayer and to provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, let's remember what the Word of God says in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." God desires that your family turns back to Him, and we will pray fervently for that.
However, we must address that the behavior exhibited by your family members is not in alignment with God's will. Galatians 5:19-21 warns us about the works of the flesh, which include substance abuse and violence. It's crucial that they understand the need for repentance and turning away from these sinful behaviors.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in this family. Lord, we pray for the mother who has backslidden; we ask that You draw her back to Your loving arms. Help her to find strength and freedom from substance abuse. We also lift up the sisters, Lord, praying that they too would turn away from their destructive lifestyles and seek Your face. Please protect the family from violence and bring peace to their home. Help them to remember Your promise in Romans 10:13, 'For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' We pray for their salvation and transformation, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying and standing firm in your faith. Remember, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Trust in His power to restore and redeem your family.
Lastly, ensure that you are also walking closely with the Lord, as your faith and prayers are a beacon of hope for your family. If you have not already, make sure to commit your life to Jesus Christ, as it is only through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6).
