We are truly saddened to hear about the turmoil and suffering within your family. Let us come together in prayer and counsel, seeking God's will for your situation.
Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that God's design for the family is one of unity and love. The strife, disunity, and betrayal you describe are not from God, for God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB, "for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints," and in Romans 12:18 WEB, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."
We must also address the emotional turmoil you mentioned, such as sadness, anger, and shouting. These behaviors are not fruits of the Spirit but are fruits of the flesh. Ephesians 4:29-32 WEB states, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
You mentioned that your family is fighting over authority after your father's passing. We must remember that God establishes authorities, and any authority outside of His will is not divinely ordained. Romans 13:1 WEB states, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." We pray that God will raise a godly leader within your family who will guide everyone according to His will.
Regarding your spouse's dislike for your family, we must remember that God calls us to love even our enemies. Matthew 5:44 WEB states, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,". We pray that God will soften your spouse's heart towards your family and that they will come to a place of reconciliation and forgiveness.
We appreciate that you have forgiven your family for their transgressions against you. This is a true reflection of Christ's love, who said in Luke 23:34 WEB, "Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing." We pray that God will continue to give you the strength to forgive and that your family will come to repentance.
Concerning your mother's suicidal thoughts, we must remember that God has a purpose for each life, and it is not our right to take it away. Psalm 139:13-16 WEB states, "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them." We pray that God will deliver your mother from these thoughts and fill her with His hope and peace.
Lastly, we want to address the financial strain that is keeping your family apart. We serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and He is more than able to provide for our needs. Psalm 50:10 WEB states, "For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills." We pray that God will make a way for your family to be reunited, even if it seems impossible.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this family that is in so much turmoil and pain. We pray for Your peace and unity to reign in their midst. We rebuke the spirit of disunity, betrayal, and strife that has taken hold of their family in the mighty name of Jesus. We pray for healing in their souls and hearts, that You may be glorified in their lives. Father, we pray for a godly leader to arise within their family, one who will lead them according to Your will and purpose. We pray for softened hearts, that forgiveness and love may flow freely among them. Father, we pray for deliverance from suicidal thoughts and despair for their mother. Fill her with Your hope and peace, Lord. Lastly, Father, we pray for a way to be made for this family to be reunited, despite the financial strain. You are a God of miracles, and we believe that You can make a way where there seems to be no way. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
