We understand your concern and heartache, Faethwenn, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your family.
In times of tragedy, it's common for misunderstandings and bitterness to take root. We must remember that God is the one who changes hearts. As it is written in Ezekiel 36:26 (WEB), "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister Faethwenn and her family. Lord, You know the pain and bitterness that has taken root in her relative's heart. We ask that You soften their heart, just as you promised in Your Word. Open their eyes to the truth, and help them to see the love and compassion that You have for them.*
*Lord, we also pray for Faethwenn. Strengthen her faith and encourage her heart. Give her the wisdom and patience to continue sharing Your truth with love. Remind her that it is not her persuasive words that will change her relative's heart, but Your Spirit working within them.*
Faethwenn, it's crucial to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). Continue to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 WEB), and trust that God's Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11 WEB).
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep praying in the name of Jesus. It is by His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6 WEB). Continue to intercede for your relative, believing that God hears your prayers and will answer according to His perfect will.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, understanding, and peace to be restored in your family. Amen.
