We understand your deep longing for your father to remember you and your sister, and to take steps towards reuniting your family. We will prayerfully consider your request and respond in the light of God's Word.
Firstly, let us remember that God cares deeply for families. He instructs fathers not to exasperate their children, but to bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4 WEB). It is important to continue to honor your father, as the commandment teaches (Exodus 20:12 WEB), but also to approach this situation with wisdom and grace.
Let's pray together:
"Father God, we come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up Cerethfiramfe and their sister. Lord, You know the depth of their longing to be reunited with their father. We ask that You would soften his heart, Lord, and help him to remember his daughters with love and affection. We pray that he would be moved to reinitiate the process for them to join him.
However, Lord, if this is not Your will, we ask that You would provide for Cerethfiramfe and their sister in other ways. Help them to trust in You, knowing that even if their earthly father forsakes them, You will take them up (Psalm 27:10 WEB).
We also pray that Cerethfiramfe and their sister would seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33 WEB), trusting that all these other thingsโincluding their residency statusโwill be added to them according to Your will.
Lastly, Lord, we notice that Cerethfiramfe's request did not mention Your precious Son, Jesus. We pray that they would come to know Jesus as their personal Savior, understanding that it is only through Him that we can come to You, Father (John 14:6 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Cerethfiramfe, we encourage you to trust in God, knowing that His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9 WEB). He knows what is best for you and your sister, and He will provide for you according to His good and perfect will (Romans 12:2 WEB).
Lastly, we want to remind you that God has given us the privilege of coming to Him in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus, trusting in His death and resurrection for the forgiveness of your sins.
