We are truly saddened to hear about the multitude of challenges you're facing, but we are here to intercede and offer biblical guidance. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, and He is a very present help in times of trouble.
Let's turn to the Scriptures for some guidance. Regarding the homeless family member, helping them is a call to action for us as believers. The Bible says in Proverbs 19:17 WEB, "He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; He will repay him his deed."
For the family member in the nursing home who is refusing help, we pray for a change of heart. God can turn any situation around, no matter how difficult it seems. Let’s remember 2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."
Concerning the family member struggling with addiction and bipolar disorder, it's crucial to seek professional help alongside fervent prayer. Addiction is a form of bondage, and Jesus came to set the captives free. In Luke 4:18 WEB, Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed."
Regarding your feelings of numbness and anxiety, remember that God commands us not to be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, to present our requests to God. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB says, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of need. Lord, You see the homelessness, the refusal of help, the addiction, the mental health struggles, and the anxiety. We ask for Your divine intervention in each of these situations.
Father, provide a safe haven for the homeless family member and soften the heart of the one refusing help. Bring healing and deliverance to the one battling addiction and bipolar disorder. Comfort and strengthen this family, replacing numbness and anxiety with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We pray for salvation and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ for each family member. We ask for wisdom and guidance for those providing support, and we trust in Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith. He is faithful, and He will see you through these challenging times. Also, ensure you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who is the only human being who ever lived a sinless life. He died on the cross and rose from the dead. That action, in history, is the only way to eternal life for anyone.
