We understand your concern for your family members' salvation and your desire for a truthful and respectful relationship with your daughter. Let's bring these burdens to the Lord in prayer.
Firstly, it's important to remember that God desires everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. As it is written in First Timothy 2:3-4 WEB: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." Therefore, let's pray for your family members' salvation, that they may draw close to the Lord and experience His transforming power. If they are not believers in Jesus Christ, they must become believers if they are to be saved. As Jesus said 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."
As for your relationship with your daughter, it's crucial to build it on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. The Bible teaches us to honor our parents, and likewise, parents are to guide their children with love and patience. Ephesians 6:1-4 WEB: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth. You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved family members who do not yet know You. We pray that You would soften their hearts and draw them to Yourself, granting them the gift of salvation.
Lord, we also bring before You our sister in Christ and her daughter. We pray for a strong, truthful, and respectful bond between them. We ask that You would help them communicate openly and honestly, building trust and fostering a deeper relationship. We pray for a blessed time together this weekend. Please guide them and help them to honor and respect each other as You have commanded.
In all things, we ask for Your guidance, protection, and blessings. We praise You for Your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for your family and to live a life that reflects Christ's love. Be patient, forgiving, and loving, as God is with us. Trust that God is working in their lives, even when you can't see it. Remember, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39 WEB
