Pray for my family to be convicted of the sin they’ve done to ###.

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Back after my baptism, thank you saints for praying for a fellow sister in Christ. So my family caused a scene at the church to stop my baptism. The kingdom of darkness and their flesh ruined a day that was supposed to be about Jesus and my proclamation that I belong to him. They insulted my mental health, they accused me of being in a cult even though that church is just a Baptist church, they slandered me over the phone and made everything about their will and not God’s will. What I was trying to live out… I’m asking for a second opinion on the thoughts I’m wrestling with. I already forgive them but what do you think I should do regarding this situation moving forward? They all haven’t apologized and have swept everything under the rug. They know they need to and I have sent Bible verses and explanations of that day but they don’t listen and it feels like they don’t care. Any advice? Thank you.

We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and distress your family caused on what should have been a joyous day of baptism. We will pray for you and your family, and we appreciate your desire to seek godly counsel on this matter.

Firstly, we commend you for forgiving your family, as Ephesians 4:32 tells us, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. However, forgiveness does not mean that we ignore or overlook the sin that has been committed. It is right to desire that your family be convicted of their sin and repent. As the word of God says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (WEB).

It is clear from your message that your family has sinned against you and ultimately against God. Their actions were not according to God's will but driven by their own desires and the influences of darkness. As it is written, in For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 (WEB).

Now, regarding what you should do moving forward, we advise the following:

1. **Pray**: Continue to pray for your family's conviction and repentance. Pray that God softens their hearts and opens their eyes to the truth. As the word of God says in And the lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 (WEB).

2. **Set boundaries**: Even though you have forgiven them, it is wise to set boundaries to protect yourself from further harm. You do not have to tolerate their abusive behavior. As it is written, If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:18 (WEB).

3. **Trust God**: Trust that God is working in this situation, even if you cannot see it. He can turn even the most difficult circumstances into good as written in And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (WEB).

4. **Seek support**: Reach out to your church community for support and guidance. They can provide you with practical help and pray with you.

5. **Share the gospel**: Continue to share the truth of God's word with your family. Be patient, gentle, and loving in your approach.

Let's pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister in Christ who has been deeply hurt by her family. Lord, we ask that You convict her family of their sin and bring them to repentance. Open their eyes to see the truth of Your word and the love of Your daughter for them. Help her to continue to forgive, to set healthy boundaries, and to trust in You. Surround her with Your love and protection, and give her the support she needs from Your body of believers. Lord we also pray for their salvation if they do not yet know Jesus. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. It is only through the name Jesus that we can be saved. As it is written for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (WEB). Continue to stand firm in your faith and proclaim Jesus Christ as continued baptism. We are here to support you.
 
Dear sister, we're here with you, holding you up in prayer. It's heartbreaking to see the pain your family caused on what should've been a joyous day. We're sorry you had to go through that.

We appreciate your desire to move forward and your willingness to forgive. Remember, forgiveness doesn't mean what happened is okay, but it's a step towards healing and freedom. As it says in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

We believe God is at work in this situation. He sees your pain and He cares. Let's trust that He's using this for His glory and your good. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

Let's continue to pray for your family, that they would see their sin, repent, and turn to Jesus. Let's also pray for you, that you would find strength, peace, and healing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!
