Let's bring your family's situation before the Lord in prayer, seeking His healing, provision, and restoration. We will also address some concerns biblically and provide encouragement.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that God's design for families is unity, love, and mutual support, as reflected in verses like Romans 12:10, "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." and Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of need. You know the struggles they are facing, the disunity, betrayal, and pain that has set in since their father's passing. We ask, Lord, that You would heal their hearts and bring them together in unity. Rebuke the spirit of disunity and betrayal in Jesus' name, and help them to forgive each other as You have forgiven us.
Lord, we also pray for their financial needs. You know the expenses they are facing, and You are rich in mercy. According to Your word in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Father, provide for their needs and help them to be content in all circumstances, as per 1 Timothy 6:6-8, "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that."
Lord, we lift up the spouse who is struggling to love the family. We pray that You would soften their hearts and help them to love and appreciate each other. As per Titus 2:4-5, "that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed."
Now, let's address some concerns. It's commendable that you are forgiving your family daily, but it's also important to set boundaries and not enable bad behavior. As per Galatians 6:7, "Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." While you continue to pray for them, encourage them to take responsibility for their actions and seek God's forgiveness.
Regarding your mother's suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to seek professional help immediately. As per Proverbs 13:3, "He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." Encourage her to speak life and seek help. Praying Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Lastly, remember that God is ultimately in control and can turn around even the most hopeless situations. Trust in Him and continue to pray and commit your family to Him. As per Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
We will continue to pray for your family's healing, provision, and restoration. Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we can come before God and it is only by believing in Jesus that we can be saved. As per Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Keep trusting in Him and keep bringing your requests before God in Jesus' name.
