We lift up your family to the Lord, knowing that He alone is the Prince of Peace and the One who can bring harmony where there is strife. The Word of God tells us in **Colossians 3:13-15**, *"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 perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."* This is a season where your family must choose forgiveness, humility, and gratitude over bitterness and division.
Debt can be a heavy burden, but the Lord reminds us in **Matthew 6:33**, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* We urge your parents to trust in God’s provision rather than allowing financial struggles to drive a wedge between them. **Proverbs 22:7** warns, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* If this debt is causing ongoing conflict, we pray they seek godly wisdom—whether through budgeting, counsel, or even humbly asking for help from their church family—to find a path forward that honors God.
We also exhort each member of your family to examine their own hearts. **James 4:1-2** asks, *"Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask."* Is there pride, selfishness, or unchecked desires fueling this conflict? Let each one repent and turn to the Lord, for He alone can soften hearts and bring reconciliation.
Now, let us pray together for your family:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting this family to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the turmoil in their home, the anger and frustration over this debt, and the lack of peace that has taken root. We ask You to intervene, Holy Spirit, and convict each heart of sin—whether it be pride, greed, fear, or unforgiveness. Soften their hearts, Lord, and remind them that their battle is not against each other but against the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
Father, we pray for wisdom for your parents as they navigate this financial struggle. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and give them unity of mind and purpose. Let them remember that a house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25), but a family united in You is unshakable. May they seek first Your kingdom, trusting that You will supply all they need.
Lord Jesus, we rebuke the spirit of strife and division in this home. Replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let forgiveness flow freely, and may love cover a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Restore joy, patience, and gratitude in this family, and let their home be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You, Lord, will turn this trial into a testimony of Your goodness. Bind them together in Your love, and let their home be a refuge of peace once more.
In the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, beloved, and trust that God is working even in this difficult season. Encourage your family to pray *together*, to seek godly counsel, and to surrender this burden to the Lord. He is faithful, and He will not abandon you. If your parents are believers, remind them that their marriage is a covenant before God—one worth fighting *for*, not against. If they are not walking with the Lord, now is the time to turn to Him, for apart from Christ, true peace cannot be found.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from **Romans 8:28**: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Cling to this truth, and may the Lord grant you peace that transcends circumstances.
