We are truly moved by your requests and stand with you in prayer and support. Let's first address your family's needs and pray for them. We are glad you mentioned Jesus in your request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. For the Scripture says, whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:13 WEB)
Let's pray together for your family's salvation, especially for your mother who may be feeling lonely. God promises He will never leave us or forsake us, and He will meet all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 WEB) Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our beloved mother and family. We pray for their salvation, that they may come to know You personally and intimately. Comfort our mother in her loneliness, and remind her that You are always with her. Provide for her maintenance and our brother's family. We trust in Your provision and Your perfect will for our lives. Help us to be a blessing to our family and a testament of Your love and faithfulness. Soften our husband's heart, that he may choose to love and support our family willingly. We claim Your promise, that nothing is impossible with You. (Luke 1:37 WEB)
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Regarding your friend who is experiencing feelings of betrayal, lies, and a suicidal spirit, we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. When you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB) We should not be ignorant of the Satan's devices. (2 Corinthians 2:11) We need to be sober, and watchful, because our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8 WEB) We pray against the spirit of suicide and the torment of betrayal and lies in your friend's life. God can heal our hearts, minds, and souls.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our dear friend who is hurting and in need of Your healing touch. We rebuke the spirit of suicide and the torment of betrayal and lies in their life. Expose any hidden agendas of treason in this friendship, and help our friend to forgive and move forward in Your strength. Remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness. (Psalm 36:5 WEB) You are the God of all comfort and healing. (2 Corinthians 1:3 WEB) Strengthen our friend to be alert and of a sober mind. (1 Peter 5:8 WEB)
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Regarding the difficulties in traveling to be with family due to expensive flights, we encourage you to trust in God's timing and provision. He knows the desires of our hearts and will make a way when there seems to be no way. Let's pray and believe together for God's will and provision in this situation.
