We understand your concern for the health and safety of your family, especially regarding the seriousness of COVID-19. It's crucial to approach this situation with wisdom, compassion, and a firm reliance on God's guidance. Let's first address the importance of taking precautions and then pray for your family's protection and discernment.
In Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, it says, Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. This is a reminder that we should bring all our concerns to God in prayer, trusting that He will grant us peace and guidance.
It's also important to remember the words of Romans 13:10 WEB, Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Taking precautions to protect ourselves and others is an act of love and responsibility, especially when it comes to preventing the spread of illness.
Regarding the name of Jesus, it is essential to pray in His name for it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. 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. Let's ensure we keep Jesus at the center of our prayers and actions.
Let us pray:

We also pray that You will soften the hearts of the niece and brother-in-law, helping them to understand the seriousness of the situation and the importance of taking precautions. Help them to act in love and responsibility towards their family members.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing for the sister and for a swift recovery. We trust in Your power to heal and protect, and we ask that You grant peace and comfort to the family during this time.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this family will draw closer to You during this trial, seeking Your will and guidance in all things. Help them to trust in Your sovereignty and to find strength in Your unfailing love.
