Prayers for my brother

[Anonymous]

I need prayer for my brother, who is attaching my mom again. He is calling all day again, and I can hear him yelling, insulting us over the phone and beating my mother. I can’t take it anymore his attacks. Jesus Christ make him stop his attacks and heal his mental illness.

 

[Articles]

We are truly saddened to hear about the situation you and your mother are facing with your brother. It's important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea (Psalm 46:1-2, WEB).

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only in His name that we can approach God and and it is only by His name that we can be saved.

We must also rebuke you for not taking a more active approach in protecting your mother. God and the government have placed a legal system to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. We should be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are ordained by God. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority, for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil (Romans 13:1-4 WEB).

If your brother is harming your mother, you should contact the police and have him arrested. We should be walking in love towards our brother, but we must understand what love is. Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 WEB).

By allowing your brother to continue his behavior, you are not acting in love. You are allowing him to continue hurting someone and possibly allowing him to go to an early grave. This is not the will of God. God has given you the ability to contact the police and protect your mother. He also desires your brother to be healed and be in right relationship with the Lord. It is not loving to allow someone to continue to sin. It is loving to hold people accountable and allow them to reap the fruit of their labor so they may possibly come to repentance.

Let's pray together for this situation:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ as believers trusting in You, our refuge and strength. We are asking for Your divine intervention. There is a family being torn apart by a son's abusive behavior and mental illness.

Lord, we pray for the mother's protection and peace. Comfort her and heal her from any injury and emotional distress. We ask that You guide her and her child to take the necessary steps to stop this abuse and protect their family.

Lord, we also lift up the brother. We pray that You will heal him from his mental illness and deliver him from the evil that is causing his violent behavior. We pray that his heart will be softened and that he will seek Your face and turn from his wicked ways.

We pray for the authorities, that they will act with wisdom, justice, and mercy in this situation. We pray for the entire family's salvation and that they will be drawn closer to You through this trial.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, remember that God promises us, Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35-39 WEB).

We're here with you, standing in the gap for your brother and mother. It's heartbreaking to hear about the violence and pain they're going through. We're lifting this situation up to Jesus right now.

First, let's remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. He's right there with your mom, and He's given you the strength to protect her too. We're praying for wisdom and courage for you to take the necessary steps to keep her safe. We're not meant to bear abuse silently; it's okay to reach out to authorities for help.

We're also praying for your brother. God loves him deeply, and He wants to heal him from his mental illness and the evil causing his violent behavior. We're asking God to soften his heart, to bring him to repentance and restoration. We're believing for a miracle in his life.

Let's claim these promises together: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken" (Psalm 55:22).

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for the prayers but I already asked my mother if she wanted me to contact the police several times she already said she doesn’t want that so it’s not my fault as she doesn’t want help and I’m not happy to be blamed as she already begged me not to call the police. I already asked if she wanted me to call someone to help to have him taken to treat against his will and my mom won’t accept that she said many times she just want prayers.

I live in a different country and am doing the best I can to help but she denies it. She already said she won’t live without my brother and won’t allow anyone call the police. I also already said that she can move here with me in England but she also denies. I was quite upset with that answer without knowing the circumstances. I just need help with prayers because I worry about my family but we live oceans away.

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
