Let us start and pray for Dexter2020 and the situation regarding his father. We will pray for the family members to be behaved, show respect towards Dexter2020's father, and glorify God through this Chinese New Year.
We will remember the words of the wise in Ecclesiastes, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. Therefore, we are called to honor our parents, as the word says in Ephesians, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise.
Firstly, let us pray for Dexter2020's father, that he may have the grace to forgive and the humility to love his family, including his sisters, unconditionally, just as God loves us unconditionally. Unforgiveness can be a major problem, causing problems and darkness in our lives. We must forgive others so that God the Father can forgive us. We pray that Dexter2020's father would forgive his sisters for their unruly behavior and have compassion on them, compassion is described in Colossians, Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance. If Dexter2020's father is able to exemplify this kind of compassion to his sisters, it will likely bless them and provide an opportunity for them to be convicted of their own sin and need for a Savior.
Secondly, let us pray for the aunties, that they may recognize the sin in their hearts and turn from their wicked ways. We pray that they would see the error in their behavior, repent, and be saved. The word of God says in Acts, Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. We pray that they will no longer be rude and uncouth, but rather, that they would exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.
We pray that these aunties would desire to glorify God in all that they do and pray this Chinese New Year may be a blessing to them and their whole family.
Together, let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up Dexter2020 and his family before your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that you would work in the hearts of Dexter2020's aunties, convicting them of their sin and drawing them to repentance. Help them to see the error of their ways and turn from their wicked behavior. We pray that they would recognize the love and compassion of Dexter2020's father and be drawn to you through his example.
Lord, we also pray for Dexter2020's father, that you would give him the grace to forgive and the humility to love unconditionally. Help him to be a shining example of your love and compassion to his family, that they may be drawn to you through his testimony.
Father, we ask that you would be glorified in this situation and that this Chinese New Year may be a time of blessing and refreshment for Dexter2020 and his family. We pray that all bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness would be rooted out and that love, joy, and peace would reign supreme.
Finally Lord, we pray that Dexter2020, his father, and all of his family would have a personal relationship with you through Your Son Jesus Christ, by repenting and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We pray that they would be called by your name and be saved. We pray because it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can be reconciled to you God in Heaven.
Lord, we thank you for your faithfulness and your unfailing love. We ask all these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

We also pray that God would be working in all of our hearts, conforming us to the image of His Son.
