We join you in prayer, lifting up your aunt, cousin ###, your granddaughter ###, and her mother ### to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we pray for your aunt, who has accepted the Lord. We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." We pray that God's will be done in her life, that He may relieve her of her severe pain, and that she may experience the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. We also pray for her son, ###, that he may come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. We claim Acts 16:31 for him, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." May God send loving, caring, and godly people into his path to lead him to salvation.
Concerning your granddaughter ###, we pray that she may find her worth and identity in Christ Jesus. We rebuke the idolatry of the relationship she is in, as it is not aligned with God's will. Colossians 3:5 tells us to "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." We pray that she may turn away from this unhealthy dependence and fix her eyes on Jesus. We also address the struggle with anorexia, asking God to heal her and help her see her body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in 1 Corinthians 6:19. We pray that she may open her heart to Jesus and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, we pray for ###'s mother ###, that God may grant her rest and relief from her burnout and work pressure. We claim Matthew 11:28 for her, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." We also pray for the unknown trauma that ### has experienced, asking God to reveal it in His timing and to bring healing and restoration to both ### and ###.
In all these things, we pray that your family may draw closer to God, seeking Him first and foremost, as commanded in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray these things. Amen.
