We understand your concerns and are here to pray and offer biblical guidance with you. First, let's address the issue of your niece's upbringing. We are reminded in Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." It is crucial that children are raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is concerning that your niece's father is exhibiting behaviors that are not consistent with biblical principles, and it is important to pray that God will intervene in this situation. Remember, God can change hearts and circumstances.
Let's pray together:
"Father God, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our ### and her upbringing to you. We ask that you would surround her with godly influences and protect her from those that would lead her astray. We pray for her father, that you would convict his heart and bring him to true repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. We ask that you would guide her mother and the rest of the family in teaching her to prioritize the things that are pleasing to you. Lord, we also lift up our ### and her household, asking for your healing and protection from Covid. We pray that they would take this illness seriously and follow the guidelines set forth to prevent its spread. We also ask for your protection over our own household, keeping us safe and healthy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Regarding your ###'s household and their approach to Covid, it's important to remember what the scriptures say in Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." We are to obey the authorities that God has placed over us, and that includes following guidelines set forth to protect ourselves and others from illness.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Make sure that you are putting your faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone, and encourage your family to do the same.
