Amtegald, we understand that you're going through a difficult time with your extended family and we're here to support you. We can really see that you have a heart for scripture and sharing the Bible with others in Jesus' name. Let's begin by addressing the issues mentioned and then pray accordingly.
Firstly, it's important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.
As it is written, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB
When you share biblical truths, it's not uncommon for others to feel convicted or uncomfortable, which can lead to strained relationships. However, it's crucial to ensure that you're sharing the Word in love and gentleness, as it is written,
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear, First Peter 3:15 WEB
Regarding your family, we encourage you to continue praying for them, including your husband and children. You as the wife should be praying for your head, which is your husband. God can turn this situation around for good and heal broken relationships.
Wives should submit to their husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the Savior of the body. Ephesians 5:22-23 WEB
There are many scriptures that address the behavior for husbands and wives.
But he who is married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, But she who is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. First Corinthians 7:33-34 WEB
We are in good company when we are rebuked, yet do not stop speaking the truth, both in love and in Jesus' name as it is written,
Brethren, be followers together of me, and look to those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example. For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things. Philippians 3:17-19 WEB
It is important to remember that we cannot to let our family be a distraction when we are trying to serve God as is written,
But if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to Peace. First Corinthians 7:15 WEB
We've included your husband in our prayers as only God can protect his mind and give him the wisdom and discernment he needs to lead your family.
Fret not yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious against those who do iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in Yahweh, and do good; Dwell in the land, and cherish Faithfulness. Psalm 37:1-3 WEB
We've also prayed for your extended family, that they may be open to your demonstration of God's love and healing will occur.
Let us pray,
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister Amtegald. Thank You for her love for Your Word and her desire to share it with others.
Lord, we pray for her extended family. We ask that You soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of Your Word. Heal the brokenness in their relationships and help to reunite them in love. We trust in Your promise that all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
Father, we pray for Amtegald's husband, children, and the one on the way, including the one on the way. God you know the plans you have for their family. Protect her husband's mind from evil spirits and give him the wisdom and discernment he needs to lead his family, especially in this time of need in Jesus' name.
Help them to fix their eyes on You and not be overwhelmed by the circumstances. Guide them and may Your will be done in their lives as it is in heaven.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we believe the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts are acceptable in your sight forever.
Amen.
