We understand that you are going through a challenging time and we are here to support and pray for you. First, we want to address that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We are glad that you have acknowledged this in your request.
We are concerned about the mention of jealousy among your family members regarding prayers. Let us remind you of the words in James 3:16, "For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed." We encourage you to pray for unity and love within your family, that they may support one another and rejoice in each other's spiritual growth.
Regarding the trials and tests, we know that God allows trials to strengthen our faith and bring us closer to Him. James 1:2-4 says, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." However, it is crucial to pray for God's will to be done, as Jesus taught us in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13).
We are saddened to hear about the church scarring your post-traumatic stress disorder of prayer hands. We pray that God will heal your wounds and restore your trust in Him and His body, the church. Psalm 147:3 assures us that "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your peace, providence, and progress in their life. Lord, we pray that You would heal the divisions within their family and unite them in love and prayer. Help them to trust in You and Your plan for their lives, even amidst trials and tests. We ask that You would heal their wounds caused by past experiences and restore their faith in You and Your church. May they find comfort and strength in Your presence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all things, to pray for your family's unity and healing, and to trust in God's plan for your life. Remember that God is always with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes focused on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
