Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Neyel's heartfelt request for Ashley, Elijah, and their family. Lord, You are the God of reconciliation and peace, and Your Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:18 that You have given us the ministry of reconciliation. We pray for the restoration of broken relationships within this family.
Father, we ask that You remove any negative influences from Ashley and Elijah's lives. Just as it says in 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character,’" we pray that You would guide them away from those who lead them astray and surround them with godly influences that will lead them back to their family and to Your truth.
Lord, we also pray for hearts of forgiveness to be cultivated within this family. Ephesians 4:32 instructs us to "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." May Your Spirit move powerfully in their hearts, bringing healing and a willingness to forgive past hurts.
We lift up Kaylynn and Elijah, asking for a renewed and strengthened bond between mother and son. Your Word in Malachi 4:6 says, "He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents." We claim this promise over Kaylynn and Elijah, that their relationship will be restored and flourish once more.
Finally, we pray for Elijah's relationship with his two sisters. May they experience a deep and abiding bond, filled with love and mutual support, as described in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for the work You are doing in this family's lives. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray and agree. Amen.
