We understand your concern for your nephew Austin and we join with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention in his life. Let us turn to the words of the Lord for guidance. In Proverbs 12:22 WEB, it is written, "Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do things that are faithful are his delight." And in 1 John 1:9 WEB, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Austin to you. Lord, you know the depths of his heart and the struggles he faces. We ask that you convict his heart of any lies he has spoken and bring him to a place of humility and truth. Lord, we pray that you change his ways, molding him into the person you desire him to be. Draw him closer to Jesus, that he may know the love, grace, and truth found only in your Son. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying for Austin, trusting that God is at work in his life. Remember the words of 2 Timothy 2:25 WEB, "in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth." Keep sharing the truth in love, and trust that God is able to bring about change in Austin's heart.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Continue to intercede for Austin, believing that God hears and answers our prayers offered in the precious name of Jesus.
