cry for Jesus

Koryl

Servant of All
Dear Lord, I don't know why our family is like this oh Lord, my big brother won't forgive things done to him and my eldest sister won't also give in to my brother. All four of us are not talking to each other and have been in conflict for like half of our lives. I am really tired. My mom and pop also cannot blend. Both of them quarrel all the time. Lord, I really do not know why we were allowed to exist just to break apart. I don't know why we became a family to be broken. I surrender everything to You. If our purpose here on earth is to be broken, I pray we have done our part. I submit to Jesus' name, Amen. We are orphans already, my mom and dad died when I was ###. All four of us do not talk to each other which even makes the cooperation on our land dispute very hard. Our lives are so complicated I do not know why we were made as a family.
 
We hear the deep sorrow and exhaustion in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion. Family brokenness is one of the heaviest burdens to carry, and your cry for Jesus is not in vain. The pain of division, unforgiveness, and unresolved conflict is real, but so is the healing power of Christ. You are not alone in this—God sees your tears, hears your prayers, and holds your family in His hands, even when it feels like everything is falling apart.

First, we must address the truth that God did not design families to be broken. From the beginning, He established marriage and family as a reflection of His love, unity, and faithfulness (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31-32). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he delights in sowing discord among those who should be bound together in love. But Jesus came to bring restoration, reconciliation, and peace (Colossians 1:19-20). Your family’s purpose is not to be broken—it is to be a testimony of God’s redeeming grace.

The unforgiveness in your siblings’ hearts is a heavy chain, and it grieves the Holy Spirit. Jesus warns us that if we do not forgive others, our Father will not forgive us (Matthew 6:14-15). This is not to condemn, but to call your brother and sister to repentance. Unforgiveness only harms the one who holds onto it—it poisons the soul and gives the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27). We must pray that their hearts would soften, that they would release the bitterness, and choose the freedom that comes from forgiving as Christ has forgiven them (Colossians 3:13).

Your parents’ constant quarreling is also a sign of deeper spiritual warfare. Marriage is meant to be a picture of Christ’s love for the Church—a covenant of selflessness, patience, and grace (Ephesians 5:22-33). When husbands and wives refuse to submit to one another in love, the enemy gains ground. We must pray for your parents to humble themselves, seek God’s wisdom, and allow His love to govern their words and actions.

You mentioned feeling like an orphan, and we want to remind you that in Christ, you are never without a Father. Even if earthly parents fail, God promises to be a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). He collects every tear (Psalm 56:8) and works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Your family’s story is not over—God can still bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3).

The land dispute among you is a practical consequence of the relational breakdown, but it is not insurmountable. Proverbs 15:1 says, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* If you can be the one to extend grace, to speak kindly, and to seek mediation (perhaps through a trusted pastor or Christian counselor), God can use you to break the cycle of conflict.

We also want to gently challenge the despair in your words. You said, *"If our purpose here on earth is to be broken, I pray we have done our part."* Beloved, your purpose is not to be broken—it is to be *redeemed*. Jesus came to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free (Isaiah 61:1). Your family’s pain does not have the final say; God’s healing does.

Let us pray for you now:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious one and their family. Lord, You see the years of conflict, the unforgiveness, the quarreling, and the deep sorrow. We ask You to move in power—soften hardened hearts, break chains of bitterness, and restore what has been broken. Father, Your Word says that where two or three are gathered in Your name, You are there (Matthew 18:20). We declare that over this family. Bring them together in humility, in repentance, and in love.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of division and strife in Jesus’ name. We command every root of bitterness to be uprooted (Hebrews 12:15). We pray for this brother and sister to forgive as You have forgiven them. We ask You to heal the wounds between parents and children, between siblings, and to make this family a testimony of Your grace.

Father, we also pray for wisdom in the land dispute. Give them unity, fairness, and a spirit of cooperation. Let Your peace rule in their hearts (Colossians 3:15). And for this dear one who is weary, fill them with Your strength. Remind them that they are not an orphan—You are their Father, and You will never leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6).

We declare restoration over this family. Let them see Your glory in their midst. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*

Do not lose hope. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your heart open to being an instrument of His peace. If possible, seek godly counsel—sometimes the Lord uses wise believers to help mend what is broken. You are not alone in this fight. We stand with you, believing that God will bring beauty from these ashes.
 
Oh dear friend, we've felt your pain as we've read your words, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We're here with you, lifting your family up before the Lord, asking Him to move in power and bring healing to your brokenness.

We understand that it's hard to see the purpose in all this pain, but remember, God is not the author of confusion or chaos. He has a plan, and even in the midst of this storm, He is working things together for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28). Your family's story is not one of brokenness, but of redemption. It's a story of how God can take the most broken pieces and make something beautiful.

We want to encourage you to keep surrendering to Jesus. Keep laying down your own desires and expectations, and trust that He knows what's best. Even when it's hard, even when it doesn't make sense, keep holding onto Him. He is faithful, and He will not let your family down.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, heavy-hearted but hopeful. We lift up our family to You, asking You to move in power. Lord, we ask that You would soften hearts, break chains of bitterness, and bring healing to our family. We ask that You would give us wisdom in the land dispute, and that You would fill us with Your strength and peace.

Lord, we trust that You have a purpose in all of this. We trust that You are working things together for our good. We ask that You would help us to see Your glory in the midst of our brokenness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want you to know how deeply we have carried your heart’s cry before the Lord these past days. There is such a heavy weight in your words—this longing for restoration in a family that feels more like a house divided, where forgiveness has been withheld and silence has taken root. We have prayed specifically for your brother, that the Holy Spirit would soften his heart and help him release the pain he has carried for so long. We have asked the Lord to move in your sister’s heart as well, that she would choose reconciliation over resentment and find the courage to extend grace.

For your parents, though they are no longer with you, we have prayed that their legacy would not be one of strife but that their memory would become a bridge rather than a barrier. We have asked God to heal the wounds of the past and to give you and your siblings a shared vision for peace, especially in the practical matters like your land dispute, so that cooperation would replace conflict.

Most of all, we have prayed over your weariness. You spoke of feeling like an orphan, of questioning why your family was ever brought together only to be broken. We have asked the Lord to remind you that you are not alone—He is your Father, and in Him, you are deeply loved and never abandoned. We have pleaded with Him to show you His purpose in this pain, to bring beauty from these broken pieces, and to give you strength when the weight of it all feels unbearable.

If the Lord has moved in any of these areas—if there has been even a small shift toward healing or understanding—we would be so encouraged to hear of it. Your praise report could be a light to others walking through similar darkness. But if the silence remains and the burden still feels heavy, we invite you to share this request again. We are not finished standing with you in prayer. We will continue to intercede, believing that God is at work even when we cannot see it.

May the Lord draw near to you in this season, comfort you with His presence, and remind you that your worth is not defined by the brokenness of your family but by the love of your Savior. May He give you hope that surpasses your circumstances and faith that trusts Him even in the unanswered. We pray all these things in the powerful and precious name of Jesus. Amen.
