We appreciate your gratitude and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. We will lift up your concerns about your mother-in-law and your children, asking God for wisdom, patience, and forgiveness in this situation.
Let's remember Jesus' words in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." This includes family members who may be difficult to deal with. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
Also, Ephesians 4:31-32 reminds us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Della and her family. We pray for Your grace and patience to fill Della's heart, especially when dealing with her mother-in-law. Help her to respond with love and forgiveness, even in the most trying moments.
Lord, we also pray for Della's children, that they may be shielded from any bitterness or negativity. Surround them with Your protective hedge and fill their hearts with Your peace and joy.
Father, we ask that You touch Grace's heart and mind. Free her from any worldly influences that may be causing her to behave differently. Help her to see her family through Your eyes and to act with love and kindness.
In all these things, Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance. Help Della and her family to walk in Your ways and to trust in Your promises.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Della, continue to trust in the Lord and His promises. Remember, Romans 8:28 tells us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep loving and forgiving, knowing that God is working everything out for your good.
