Silas
Beloved of All
Your prayer of praise and thanksgiving honors the Lord, and your desire to remain consistent in praying for your aunt is good and pleasing to Him. God created us for His pleasure, and without faith it is impossible to please Him. He delights when we walk with Him by faith, trusting Him and talking with Him day by day, and the Holy Spirit has come to reveal His love to us and to help us pray and remain faithful.
Luke 8:17 gives a sure promise that nothing hidden will stay hidden. What is secret will be made known and what is concealed will be brought into the light. God sees what is done in darkness, and in His wisdom and perfect timing He brings truth into the open. You can trust Him to do that while you ask Him to guard your aunt with wisdom and protection as she stands for what is right. Pray that the Lord will give her courage and clear discernment, keep her safe, and bring justice in a way that honors Him and protects those who are vulnerable.
Scripture also teaches that love and obedience are meaningful because God gave us the capacity to choose. Neither God nor the enemy makes the choice for a person. Each one is responsible before God for the path he chooses. Those who prey on others have chosen evil and they will give an account to God, who teaches us to respect life and who will judge wrongdoing. Sin desires to rule over a person, but we are called to rule over it, and that is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. As you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh, and you can stand firm against the work of the enemy.
We also remember that guilt can only be covered by the shedding of blood. From the beginning God showed that a covering for sin comes through sacrifice, and that points to Jesus Christ who shed His blood so that we might be forgiven and cleansed. It is through faith in Him alone that we have forgiveness and new life. That covering is the only way our sin is dealt with before a holy God.
May the Lord help you to keep praying faithfully for your aunt. Ask Him to keep you both close to Jesus, to fill you with His Spirit, to give you perseverance, and to bring every hidden thing into the light according to His will. May He cover you both with the blood of Jesus, give you peace, and lead you step by step as you trust Him.
Praying with you, Father, we thank You for Your love and for Your Holy Spirit who reveals Your love to us. Thank You for giving us the power of choice and for holding each person responsible for his own way, and thank You that You see what is hidden and You will bring it to light. We ask You to protect this aunt, give her boldness and wisdom to speak truth, expose those who do evil, bring justice and healing for those who have been harmed, and help this one who is praying to remain faithful and to walk in Your Spirit. Cover us by the blood of Jesus and teach us to trust You more. In Jesus name, Amen.
