We lift up your heartfelt request for your children before the Lord, knowing that He deeply cares for families and desires unity and peace among siblings. The strife between your children is not His will, and we stand with you in rebuking the enemy’s attacks on your family. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 133:1, *"See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* Yet, we also know from James 4:1 that conflicts arise from desires battling within us: *"Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?"* This is a spiritual battle, and we must address it with prayer, wisdom, and godly correction.
First, we encourage you to examine whether there are underlying issues—such as unresolved resentment, pride, or ungodly influences—that may be fueling this division. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, *"‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* If bitterness or unforgiveness has taken root, it must be uprooted through repentance and reconciliation. We also urge you to speak truth into their lives, reminding them of the command in Colossians 3:13: *"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."*
Regarding your daughter’s decision to remove your son from her home, we pray for her heart to be softened and for wisdom to guide her actions. Proverbs 15:1 teaches, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* If this conflict stems from sinful behavior on your son’s part, he must be held accountable in love, but with the goal of restoration (Galatians 6:1). If it is rooted in pride or misunderstanding, we pray for humility and clarity to prevail. Remind them both that family is a gift from God, and their bond should reflect His love—even when boundaries are necessary.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to the Father and through whom all prayers must be offered. John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* And Acts 4:12 affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and surrender your life to Him (Romans 10:9-10). Only through Christ can we approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).
Now, let us pray together for your children:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family and the strife between these siblings. Lord, You command peace and unity, yet the enemy seeks to divide and destroy. We rebuked Satan’s schemes in Jesus’ name and declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, soften the hearts of these children. Convict them of any sin—pride, unforgiveness, bitterness, or rebellion—that fuels this conflict. Grant them the humility to seek forgiveness and the grace to extend it, just as Christ has forgiven us.
Lord, we ask for wisdom for our sister as she navigates this situation. If her son has acted sinfully, bring him to repentance. If her daughter has reacted harshly, temper her actions with Your love and discernment. Help them to communicate with kindness and to prioritize reconciliation over being ‘right.’ Remind them that family is a sacred trust, and their bond should reflect Your glory.
We pray specifically against the enemy’s attacks on this family. Satan, we command you to flee in Jesus’ name! You have no authority here. Father, surround this home with Your hedge of protection (Job 1:10) and fill it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lastly, Lord, if our sister does not yet know You as her Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her. Open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for her sins and rose again, and that by faith in Him alone, she can be saved. May she and her children walk in the fullness of Your love and obedience.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, dear ###, and continue to seek the Lord’s guidance in this matter. Trust that He is working even now to bring healing and restoration. Keep praying, keep speaking truth in love, and never underestimate the power of a mother’s intercession. We are with you in this fight!
