Let us come together, dear brothers and sisters, and lift up Dexter2020's cousin in prayer, seeking God's intervention in his life.
Firstly, we must remember that it is by the name of Jesus that we are saved and have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Let us ensure that we are praying to God through Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
Now, let us address the situation. Dexter2020's cousin is engaged in sinful activities, namely stealing. We must rebuke this lack of stewardship of his life according to the Word of God. The Bible clearly tells us in Ephesians 4:28 WEB: "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need." Stealing is a sin God's word calls us to stop and replace with honest work. In 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 WEB, it is written: "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.' For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread."
We must also pray for a change of heart, for conviction to enter into his life, and for him to seek a legitimate source of income. Pray that God would open doors of opportunity for him to find honest work. Let us also pray this prayer:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, pleading for Dexter2020's cousin. Father, we know that Your heart desires that all would come to repentance and faith. We pray that You would soften his heart. Father, convict him of his sins, and lead him to a place of repentance. Help him to see the error of his ways and turn from them. We ask that You would open up opportunities for him to find honest work, and that he would take hold of those opportunities. Help him to become a productive member of society, and to provide for himself in an honest and God-honoring way. We pray too for Dexter2020, that you would give him the wisdom and courage to speak the truth in love to his cousin, and to be a positive influence in his life. Father, may this situation be redeemed, and may Your love and grace be shown to them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
