We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing with your family and your concern for your friends salvation. Let us first address the family situation. The Bible tells us in Romans 12:18, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. This verse reminds us that we should strive for peace and reconciliation, but it also acknowledges that sometimes, despite our best efforts, harmony may not be possible due to the actions or attitudes of others.
In your case, continue to extend love and forgiveness to your siblings, even if they do not reciprocate. Pray for them, that their hearts may be softened and that they may come to know the love of Christ. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
For your mother, who is widowed and distressed, take comfort in the knowledge that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit, as stated in Psalm 34:18. Pray for her strength and comfort, and trust that God will carry her through this difficult time.
Now, let us address your concern for your friends salvation. It is commendable that you are interceding on their behalf. Remember, God desires for all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:3-4.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our dear friend Cewall and their family. Lord, we pray for healing and reconciliation among their siblings, and we ask that You comfort and strengthen their mother in her time of need.
We also bring before You their friend Doctor Sara, William, David, Frances, Caroline, Steve, Lisa, Matthew, Thomas, David, Mary, and Jackie. Father, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way and draw them to Your saving grace.
Lord Jesus, we acknowledge that worldly sorrow leads to death but Godly sorrow brings repentance leading to salvation and leaving no regret, that salvation which comes by faith in the precious blood of Jesus. Father forgive our sins. We plead the blood of Jesus over this prayer, and we ask that You hear our cries and answer our prayers, Father God. Heal these precious family relationships, comfort the widow who longs for her family, and draw the unsaved loved ones to Your Son, their Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name.
Lastly, let God's peace be upon you during this time of trial.
