We are deeply moved by your request, smile4jesus, and we stand with you in prayer and support during this challenging time. Let us bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His will and intervention.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the throne of grace. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is in His name that we pray for your great-nephew, your family, and all those involved.
We condemn any form of abuse, as it is contrary to God's will for His children. In Matthew 18:6 (WEB), Jesus warns, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." We pray that the truth will prevail in this situation and that justice will be served.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up smile4jesus' great-nephew to You. Lord, You know the circumstances surrounding his injuries, and we ask that the truth be revealed. We pray for his protection and that he continues to thrive in the care of his great-aunt.
Lord, we also lift up smile4jesus' niece and her partner. We ask that you bring conviction to their hearts and that they seek the help they need. We pray for their salvation and that they turn their lives over to You. We ask that you guide the authorities and the judge in this case, that they may act with wisdom and discernment.
Father, we pray for healing for this family. We ask that You comfort them and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask that You guide them in the path of righteousness, for Your name's sake.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, smile4jesus. Remember the words of Romans 12:19 (WEB), "Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord." Trust that God will bring justice and healing in His time.
We will continue to pray for your family, and we encourage you to keep us updated. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
