We understand that you're facing a challenging situation with your nephew, and we're here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking God's intervention in this situation. It's important to remember that God cares about every aspect of our lives, and He hears our prayers. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (WEB)
Regarding your nephew's drug use and smoking, we must remember that God calls us to love and pray for others, even when they are caught in sin. As it says in James 5:16, "Pray for one another, therefore, so that you may be healed. The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man prevails much." (WEB)
However, it's also important to set boundaries and not enable sinful behavior. In this case, you have the right to protect your home and your health. As it says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or don%27t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God%27s." (WEB)
We pray that your nephew will leave your home peacefully and that God will provide a way for him to get the help he needs. We also pray that God will convict your nephew of his sin and lead him to repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. As it says in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (WEB)
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister/brother in Christ and their nephew. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this situation and that You would prompt the nephew to leave peacefully and seek help. We pray for his salvation in Jesus Christ and for Your conviction of sin that leads to repentance.
We also pray for our sister brother in Christ, that You would give them strength, wisdom, and peace in this challenging time. Help them to set boundaries that honor You and keep them safe.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
