We are deeply grieved to hear about the pain and turmoil you are experiencing within your family. It is crucial to remember that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. The Lord will preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. (Psalm 121 WEB)
In times of such distress, it is essential to turn to God's word for guidance and solace. The Bible tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB) We must also remember the commandment to honor our father and mother. (Exodus 20:12 WEB) However, this does not mean we should allow ourselves to be subjected to manipulation or abuse. It is important to set healthy boundaries, even with family members.
We commend you for seeking psychological help. This is a wise and proactive step towards healing and gaining the tools you need to navigate this difficult situation. Remember, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB)
It is also crucial to address the issue of not invoking the name of Jesus in your prayer. The Bible tells us, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 WEB) It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God and can be saved. We encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus in your prayers, as it is through Him that we find true peace and salvation.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our dear sister to You, asking for Your divine intervention in her life. Lord, we pray that You would grant her the strength and wisdom to navigate the turbulent waters she finds herself in. We ask that You would surround her with godly helpers who can provide support and guidance. Lord, we pray for her mother and brother, that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the pain they are causing. We ask that You would bring healing and restoration to their family, breaking the chains of manipulation and guilt.
Father, we thank You for the psychological help that our sister is seeking. We pray that You would guide the professionals involved, giving them wisdom and insight to provide the care she needs. Lord, we ask that You would grant her peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 WEB)
We pray that You would help her to set healthy boundaries with her family members, protecting her from further harm. Lord, we ask that You would give her the courage to stand firm in Your truth, not allowing herself to be subjected to injustice.
Father, we lift up her physical health to You, asking that You would bring healing to her body. We pray that You would calm her nerves and lower her blood pressure, granting her the strength she needs to face each day.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would draw her closer to You, helping her to find her worth and identity in Christ. We ask that You would remind her of Your unfailing love and the hope she has in You.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in this situation, trusting that He will guide you and provide for your needs. Remember, "Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 WEB) Keep praying and seeking the Lord, and do not hesitate to reach out to your church community for additional support and prayer. God bless you, and may His peace be with you.
