We understand your desire for peace, salvation, and justice, Whareyn. We will pray with you and offer some biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, it is commendable that you are concerned about the salvation of your household. The Bible tells us that when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, our households will be saved and we and our households will be saved Acts 16:31. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. This is the most important decision anyone can make Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Whareyn and her household. We pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. We ask that You extend Your salvation to her husband and children, drawing them to Yourself, and granting them the gift of faith in Jesus Christ John 6:44. We also pray for justice in their situation, trusting that You are a God of justice and righteousness Psalm 103:6.
Now, Whareyn, while it is good to desire peace from your enemies, remember what Jesus said: "A man’s foes shall be they of his own household" Matthew 10:36. Sometimes, the greatest battles we face are within our own families. But take heart, for Jesus has overcome the world John 16:33.
Regarding justice, we must remember that God's timing is perfect. Sometimes, we may feel that justice is delayed, but we must trust that God will bring everything to light in His time. "Don’t return evil for evil... But contrariwise blessing... Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" Romans 12:17, 12:21.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying not only for your household but also for others who need salvation. Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves Matthew 22:39, and this includes praying for their salvation.
We are standing with you in prayer, Whareyn. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6.
Lord in Heaven, we ask that you save those in Whareyn's household. Give her all the grace and love to support her children and husband to desire the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. Protect them from the enemy. We thank you and praise you in Jesus' name. Amen.
