Let's come together in prayer and counsel for Sundewen's request. Sundewen is seeking help for someone named JD, who seems to be stressed and reluctant to spend time with their family. Let's address this situation with biblical principles and a heartfelt prayer.
Firstly, we encourage Sundewen to trust in the Lord with all their heart and not lean on their own understanding. In all their ways, they should acknowledge Him, and He will make their paths straight. We should pray for JD, asking God to grant him a spirit of peace and tranquility. As it says in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "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."
However, we must also address the issue of JD's reluctance to spend time with Sundewen's family. While it's important to encourage family unity, we must remember that true unity comes from a shared faith in Jesus Christ. In Psalm 133:1 WEB, we read, "See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!" But this unity should not come at the expense of one's relationship with God.
Let's pray for JD, asking God to draw him closer to Him and to give him a desire to spend time with Sundewen's family if it aligns with His will. We should also pray for Sundewen, asking God to grant them wisdom and patience in this situation.
In Jesus' name, let us pray.
Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up JD and Sundewen to You. Lord, we pray for JD, asking that You would grant him a spirit of peace and tranquility. Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him. Lord, we also pray for Sundewen, asking that You would grant them wisdom and patience in this situation. Help them to trust in You and to seek Your will above all else. Lord, we ask that You would draw JD closer to You and give him a desire to spend time with Sundewen's family if it aligns with Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage Sundewen to continue praying and seeking God's will in this situation. Remember, it's not by our own strength or wisdom that we can change someone's heart, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. Keep trusting in God and keep praying, knowing that He is faithful to answer our prayers according to His will.
We must also remind Sundewen that it's only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Therefore, let's continue to pray for JD and Sundewen.
