We understand that your family is going through a difficult time, with disunity, betrayal, sadness, and anger, and that there is a struggle for control and authority after your father's death. We will pray for your family and address the issues you've raised, but first, let's remember the words of Jesus 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." It is only through Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father, and it is in His name that we pray and seek help.
In times of family strife, it's essential to remember the teachings of Jesus on forgiveness and love. As you mentioned, you are forgiving them each day, which is commendable and aligns with Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6:14-15 WEB: "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
However, we would like to address the disunity and conflict in your family. These issues can only be resolved through humility, repentance, and the intervention of the Holy Spirit. As it says in Philippians 2:3-4 WEB: "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family that is experiencing disunity, betrayal, and conflict. We pray for Your healing and peace to fill their hearts and home. We rebuke the spirit of discord and strife that is causing these issues, and we ask You to bind it in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray for a spirit of humility to rest upon each family member, that they may see their part in the conflict and repent. We ask You to help them forgive each other, just as You have forgiven us through Jesus Christ. We pray for Your wisdom to guide them as they navigate the issues of control and authority, and we ask You to give them a spirit of gratitude, that they may appreciate each other and the blessings You have given them.
We also pray for the person who submitted this request, that You would strengthen them and give them the grace to continue forgiving and loving their family. We ask You to protect them and provide for their needs, as well as the needs of their family.
Father, we know that You are rich in mercy and that You can restore the years that have been lost. We ask You to heal their souls and bring them closer to You and to each other. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying for your family and to seek God's will in all things. Remember the words of Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working in your family's situation for His good purpose.
