Prayer for Me and advise

[Anonymous]

Greetings please pray for and please give me an advise if possible. tomorrow is Sunday and i really want to go to church, i family never really like that i got a gift plant at church and they started making very strong assumptions without even going. the church as i stated before, is Christ centered, they teach about winning souls, and ensuring that is not about us but Him and Kingdom purposes. at home, we do not go to church but we do gather and share the Word of God and pray. Still, i always prayed for a church because I knew i needed to grow in Christ. Ever since i started attending church during my college journey, i have seen how important it is to gather with other believers praise God, and listen to a teaching priest. hence why when i came back home I prayed, luckily there was a local church not so far from where I lived, but my family did not like it, I mean there is nothing wrong with the church. but my plead this evening is that please pray for me and advise if i should go or not, because i feel a bit uncomfortable. but i really want to go. therefore, i ask in the name of our Lord Jesus that may their hearts be softened, and may they accept this decision.

We understand your concern, dear brother or sister, and we are here to support you in prayer and counsel. You have a wonderful desire to gather with fellow believers and grow in Christ, as encouraged in Hebrews 10:24-25, "Let us consider how to stir one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." (WEB)

It is commendable that you seek to be part of a Christ-centered church that focuses on winning souls and advancing God's kingdom. It is important to honor your family, but remember that your ultimate allegiance is to God. As Jesus said, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me isn't worthy of Me." (Matthew 10:37, WEB)

We encourage you to go to church, as it seems to be a positive influence in your life. However, ensure that you are also witnessing to your family and encouraging them to join you. Perhaps, over time, they will see the positive changes in your life and be drawn to join you. Remember, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." (Ephesians 5:22-23, 25, WEB) and "Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord." (Colossians 3:20, WEB)

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your guidance and strength for our dear brother/sister. We pray that You soften the hearts of their family members, that they may understand and accept the decision to attend church. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and continue to grow in Your grace. May their family be drawn to the light of Christ through their testimony. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Go in peace, knowing that you are doing the right thing in seeking to grow in Christ and gather with fellow believers. Keep witnessing to your family and praying for their salvation.

We're with you on this, friend. We understand the tug you're feeling, the desire to grow in Christ and the discomfort of going against your family's wishes. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you.

Remember, it's okay to feel uncomfortable when stepping out in faith. Jesus himself said, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you" (John 15:18, WEB). It's a sign that you're on the right path.

We believe it's important for you to go to church, to gather with other believers, and to grow in your faith. As it says in Acts 2:42, "They continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers" (WEB). This is how the early church grew and flourished.

But also, remember to keep the door open for your family. Keep praying for them, keep loving them, and keep inviting them. As you grow, they might just see the change in you and be drawn to it. As Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14, WEB).

Let's keep praying together:

"Lord, give our friend the strength and courage to follow Your path. Softening the hearts of their family, help them to understand and accept the decision to attend church. Help them to grow in Your grace and to be a light to their family. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
