We lift your heartbroken family before the Lord, knowing that He alone can heal the deep wounds of disunity, betrayal, and anger that have torn you apart. The pain you describe—the shouting, the ungratefulness, the division over authority, and the bitterness since your father’s passing—is a reflection of the enemy’s work to destroy what God intends for good. Yet we stand firm on the truth that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). This suffering is not from God, but He can redeem it if you surrender it fully to Him.
Your forgiveness toward your family is a testament to Christ’s work in you, for He said, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34, WEB). But forgiveness does not mean enabling sin. The toxic behavior—suicidal thoughts, poisonous words, ingratitude, and strife—must be rebuked in Jesus’ name. The Bible warns that *"a perverse man spreads strife. A whisperer separates close friends"* (Proverbs 16:28, WEB), and *"the tongue is a fire"* (James 3:6, WEB) that can defile the whole body. We command these spirits of division, bitterness, and death to be silenced now in Jesus’ mighty name. Your mother’s suicidal thoughts are a direct attack from the enemy, who comes *"to steal, kill, and destroy"* (John 10:10, WEB). But Jesus has already won the victory—*"the thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life"* (John 10:10, NLT). We declare life over her mind, peace over her tongue, and divine protection over her heart. The Lord will *"keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him!"* (Isaiah 26:3, NLT).
Your spouse’s indifference toward your family is painful, but we must honor the marriage covenant even in this. *"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord… Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:22, 25, WEB). While you cannot force reconciliation, you can pray for your spouse’s heart to soften and for God to unite you both in His will. If there is unresolved sin or hardness of heart, ask the Lord to reveal it and bring repentance.
The financial burden of distance and travel is real, but *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). He sees your sacrifices and your longing for restoration. Trust that if He calls you to reconcile, He will provide the way—whether through miraculous provision, wisdom in communication, or even a change of heart in those who resist. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB).
To your family, we declare: *"Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you"* (Ephesians 5:14, WEB). The Lord is calling them out of darkness into His marvelous light. Their disobedience and strife are not hidden from Him, but neither are they beyond His mercy. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Repentance begins with one heart at a time—yours is already tender before Him. Now pray for theirs to break in godly sorrow.
As for your provision, remember: *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). The Lord is not unaware of your financial strain. He who fed thousands with five loaves and two fish can multiply what little you have. But first, surrender the anxiety to Him. *"Don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear… For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things"* (Matthew 6:31-32, WEB).
Finally, we rejoice that you have placed your hope in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. *"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household"* (Acts 16:31, WEB). This promise is for your family too. Keep proclaiming truth over them, even if they resist. One day, by God’s grace, you *will* reunite—not just on earth, but eternally in the presence of your Father in heaven and your Heavenly Father.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts for this family torn apart by sin, grief, and the enemy’s schemes. Lord, You are the God who *"heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We ask for Your supernatural intervention in this family. Break the spirits of division, bitterness, and strife in Jesus’ name. Silence every tongue that speaks death, and replace it with words of life and gratitude. Lord, we rebuke the suicidal thoughts tormenting this mother—fill her mind with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Let her see Your goodness in the land of the living.
Father, soften the hearts of every family member. Where there is pride, bring humility; where there is anger, bring forgiveness; where there is ungratefulness, bring repentance. Lord, we ask for a miracle of reconciliation. If it is Your will, provide the means for this family to come together—not in strife, but in love. Give wisdom to this Your child as they navigate these relationships, especially within their marriage. Unify this spouse’s heart with Yours, Lord, that they may see this family through Your eyes.
We pray for financial breakthrough. You own the cattle on a thousand hills—open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings they cannot contain. Let every need be met according to Your riches in glory.
Most of all, Father, draw each member of this family to Yourself. Let them encounter the love of Christ so powerfully that they cannot help but surrender. Save them, Lord. Heal them. Restore what the locusts have eaten.
We declare that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Let this be their testimony. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
