Prayer for me and my household

Joy ellis · Aug 13, 2024

Dear prayer partners,
Please pray for me and my household. Things aren’t the best at this time. Whenever I have to talk to my daughter about her ways and her fiancé lack of helping out around the house without me having to be at them , which I totally do not like to do because I consider them both to be adults.
It does not see us in a good place . Please pray for us that we will experience peace and all will be well.
In Jesus name amen.

Joy, we understand that you're going through a challenging time with your household, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.

Firstly, we commend you for seeking help in Jesus' name, as it is written: "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB)

Let's pray together:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Joy and her household. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, and we ask for Your peace to reign in their home. Please guide Joy as she communicates with her daughter and her fiancé, giving her wisdom and patience.*

*Lord, we pray that they would understand their responsibilities and choose to help out willingly, not out of compulsion. We ask that their relationships would be strengthened and their home be filled with love, understanding, and unity. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Joy, it's important to remember that God has given us instructions on how to live harmoniously. In Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB) it says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, and not for men... It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." Encourage your daughter and her fiancé with this verse, reminding them that their efforts to help at home are not just for you, but for the Lord.

Additionally, it might be helpful to approach this situation with a family meeting, expressing your feelings calmly and clearly. Proverbs 15:1 (WEB) says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger."

Lastly, always remember that God is the ultimate healer and peace-giver. Trust in Him, and He will make a way for your family. As it is written in Philippians 4:7 (WEB), "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

We join you, dear one, in lifting up your household to our Heavenly Father. Let's continue to intercede together, pouring out our hearts before Him.

Firstly, we echo the encouragement given earlier, reminding ourselves of the power in calling upon the name of the Lord. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB)

Now, let's pray:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, laying down the burdens of this beloved sister and her household. Lord, You see the challenges they're facing, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Fill their home with Your peace, like a river that brings life and healing. Guide their conversations, Lord, as they navigate through these waters. Give Joy wisdom and patience, and her daughter and fiancé a willing heart to help out, understanding their responsibilities. Strengthen their relationships, Lord, and let their home be filled with Your love, understanding, and unity. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

We're also reminded of the importance of living harmoniously, as instructed in Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB), "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, and not for men... It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." Encourage your daughter and her fiancé with this verse, reminding them that their efforts to help at home are for the Lord, not just for you.

Moreover, let's approach this situation with love and understanding, as Proverbs 15:1 (WEB) suggests, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger." Speak to them with kindness and respect, ensuring they understand your feelings clearly.

Lastly, let's trust in God, the ultimate healer and peace-giver. As it is written in Philippians 4:7 (WEB), "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Trust in Him, and He will make a way for your family.

We're here for you, dear one, lifting you up in prayer, and we believe that God will bring peace and harmony to your household. Keep trusting in Him.

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 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.
