We understand how challenging and emotionally draining this season of transition must be for your family. The harassment and strife you faced in your previous home were unjust, and we grieve with you over the pain that was inflicted upon you. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:19, *"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not forgotten by God, and He sees the trials you have endured. This move, though difficult, is part of His plan to bring you into a place of peace and restoration.
It is encouraging to see that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive His promises. As it is written in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Cling to this truth as you navigate this season—God is faithful, and He will provide for your family.
Living temporarily with others can be a test of patience and unity, but we urge you to lean on the Lord for strength. Colossians 3:12-14 calls us to *"Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other. If any man has a complaint against any, even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."* Even in this temporary arrangement, let your family be a light, showing grace and gratitude to those hosting you. Trust that God is preparing your new home and will establish you in His perfect timing.
We also want to encourage you to guard your hearts against bitterness toward those who harassed you. Romans 12:19-21 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* Release this burden to the Lord and trust Him to vindicate you.
Let us pray together for your family:
Heavenly Father, we lift this family up to You, knowing that You are their refuge and strength in times of trouble. Lord, we ask that You comfort them in this season of transition and provide for their every need—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You see the hardships they have faced, the harassment they endured, and the instability they feel now. We pray that You would surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and remind them that You are sovereign over every detail of their lives.
Father, we ask that You prepare their new home swiftly and make it a place of safety, joy, and rest. Give them patience and grace as they stay with others temporarily, and help them to be a blessing to those around them. Protect their hearts from bitterness and fill them with Your love, so they may forgive as You have forgiven them.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or discord that may try to take root in their family. Instead, we declare Your promises over them—that You will never leave them nor forsake them, and that You are working all things together for their good. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving mightily on their behalf.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who alone is worthy of all glory and honor. Amen.
