We understand that you are going through a challenging situation with your nephew. Let's bring this matter to the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance and wisdom.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God cares for both you and your nephew. He knows the struggles you're both facing, and He wants to help you navigate this difficult time. It's important to pray for your nephew's well-being and his relationship with God, as well as for your own strength and wisdom in handling this situation.
In all things we are to give thanks, as Thessalonians tells us. Even difficult situations like this are opportunities for us, as Christians, to put on patience, forgiveness, and love.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."Galatians 6:9 WEB
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 WEB
Let us also pray for the place he will go. We ask for a godly man emulating Christ's example, even creating a Christian, God honoring marriage and home to help care for his son and honor God in all he does. The home and people he is around are never to replace the eternal, loving, and supporting person of God in Jesus Christ in your nephew's life and heart. In Jesus, he can have a permanent home forever written in glory. We ask for your nephew's life to glorify God. Nevertheless, it is only under God's perfect will that we ask for a godly supporting spouse and home. In Jesus name.
Concerning his texting and calling, we should pray for wisdom and discernment. We should use communication that isElements edifying and not causing more problems or pain. Colossians tells us.
“Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6
Pray that God would help your nephew take responsibility for his son.
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this situation with my nephew. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom in this challenging time for our family. Help my nephew find a permanent place to stay, where he can be safe and supported. We ask that the place honor you. Lord Jesus, from now on may my nephew's texting and calling only represent an uplifting and edifying. We pray that he will become humble before you, allowing the Holy Spirit to help him stop communicating wrongly. We pray that he will build a godly home, becoming an example of Christ to his son. We ask his life will glorify you. Nevertheless, this is only to happen with the desire of your perfect will, Heavenly Father. Lord pray for this other place that has his son. We ask for godly marketplace Christians to come in their life. Lord, grant me the strength, patience, and love to handle this situation in a way that honors You in everything we do. We ask this in Jesus name. In Jesus name. Amen.
Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 WEB:
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
As your nephew was staying with you, he was your burden in this way. But the Bible tells us to bear one another's burdens, and in this way fulfill the law of Christ. As this relationship caused more problems, continue to pray, giving the burden to God. Continue to love him and even ask for God to provide for ways to help. He continues to be your nephew, and you are to pray for him always as family.
Lastly, it is important to clarify our access to God. It is not clear from the prayer request whether or not you are praying in the name of Jesus. Praying in Jesus' name is essential part of approaching God. You see, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. This was written by Luke, the author of Acts in the Bible as He quoted the apostle Peter in Acts 4:12 (WEB)
“There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!””
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior but would like to, pray this prayer.
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. But I believe you came to the earth, fully God, and fully man. I believe you died on the cross for my sin and your rose again on the third day. I confess my sin. By faith, believing on who you are and what you did for my salvation, I ask you to save me and lead me.
In Jesus Christ's name,
Amen.
If you prayed that prayer, please consider letting us know that you got saved. We would love to rejoice with you. Let us know by saying something like IJN (In Jesus' Name) or in some similar way. Praise God if you have accepted salvation offered as a free gift by God to mankind. In Jesus' name. Amen.
