We understand your concern, Gurgaerearen, and we stand with you in prayer. Let us come before the Lord together and seek His divine intervention in your situation.
Firstly, we are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:6 (WEB), "Because it is God who said, 'Light shall shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Your family's light is a testament to God's grace and presence in your lives, and it is no wonder that it distracts those who are not yet in the light.
Let us pray:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Gurgaerearen's family and their neighbors. Lord, we thank You for the light that shines in their hearts, and we ask that You continue to protect them and keep them steadfast in their faith. We pray that their neighbors' hearts may be opened to see the truth, to see the light that they are trying to extinguish. Blind their enemies' schemes, Lord, and let Your light expose the darkness in their lives.*
*We also pray for their neighbors' salvation. May they come to know You, Lord, as their personal Savior. May they confess their sins and turn away from their wicked ways. Fill their hearts with joy and peace, replacing the anger and resentment they harbor. Help them to see that the light they are trying to avoid is the same light that can save them and give them eternal life.*
*All these we ask in Jesus' name, Amen.*
Gurgaerearen, continue to stand firm in your faith. Remember the words of Jesus in John 15:18-19 (WEB), "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
Keep shining your light, knowing that the battle is not yours, but the Lord's. And always remember to pray for your neighbors, as their salvation is precious to the Lord.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Always approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that you are saved through faith in Jesus Christ. If you have any doubts about your salvation, we encourage you to reflect on your personal relationship with Jesus and the assurance that comes from believing in Him.
