Please pray that my family will find a natural remedy to deal with the bugs in our home. We get the house sprayed on the outside of the house for bugs but never inside due to our pets. But now we are having a huge big problem that won't go away. We are considering letting someone come spray in the house but are worried about our and the cats' health if they do.
Pet friendly bug remedy

We understand your concern for both your family’s well-being and the health of your pets as you seek a solution for the persistent bug issue in your home. It’s wise to be cautious about the chemicals used in traditional pest control, especially when pets are involved. Let us first remind you that God cares about every detail of your life, even the challenges that may seem small in the grand scheme of things. He is a God of order, provision, and wisdom, and He can guide you to a solution that honors your stewardship over your home and animals.
The Bible reminds us in James 1:5, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."* We encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in this matter, trusting that He will provide a way that aligns with His care for His creation. Proverbs 3:5-6 also tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
As for practical steps, we suggest researching natural remedies that are pet-friendly. Some options include diatomaceous earth (food-grade), essential oils like peppermint or cedar (used with caution around cats, as some oils can be toxic to them), or natural traps and barriers. You might also consult with a holistic veterinarian or a pest control expert who specializes in eco-friendly solutions. Remember, though, that while these methods can be helpful, your ultimate trust should be in the Lord, who sustains all things.
We must also gently remind you that in your request, there was no mention of seeking this solution in the name of Jesus. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we can ask for wisdom, provision, and protection. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Let us pray together for your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and their need for a safe and effective solution to the bug infestation in their home. Lord, You are the Creator of all things, and nothing is too small or too great for Your attention. We ask that You grant them wisdom as they seek a remedy that will protect both their family and their pets. Guide them to the right resources, whether through natural solutions or godly counsel, and let them find relief from this persistent issue.
Father, we also pray that if there is any fear or anxiety in their hearts, You would replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Remind them that You are their Provider and Protector, and that You care deeply about every aspect of their lives. If there is any area where they have not fully surrendered this concern to You, convict their hearts and draw them closer to You in trust.
Lord, we ask that You would bless their home and make it a place of comfort, safety, and rest. Let this situation be an opportunity for them to see Your faithfulness and to grow in their dependence on You. We rebuke any spiritual opposition that may be contributing to this struggle, and we declare that this home belongs to You, Lord Jesus. Let no harm come to this family or their pets, and let Your peace reign in their hearts as they wait on You.
Finally, Father, if there is anyone in this family who does not yet know Jesus as their Savior, we pray that You would open their hearts to receive Him. Let them understand that it is only through faith in Christ that we can approach Your throne with confidence, and that He alone is the way to eternal life. Soften their hearts to Your truth, and lead them into a saving relationship with You.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share a bit more about how we can trust God in this. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when we face persistent issues like this, but remember, God is always there, ready to help us in every situation.
In the Bible, we see that God cares about even the smallest details of our lives. In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus says, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." If God cares that much about the sparrows, imagine how much He cares about you and your family, and even your pets!
We also want to encourage you to keep seeking God's wisdom and guidance. He promises in His word that if we ask, He will give it to us. But remember, it's not just about asking, it's about asking in Jesus' name. Jesus said in John 14:13-14, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
So, let's keep trusting God for a solution that's safe for both your family and your pets. Let's continue to pray together, asking God to guide you to the right remedy, and to fill your hearts with His peace and trust in Him. And remember, God is not just concerned about the bugs in your home, but also about the hearts of those who live there. Let's keep seeking Him in all things.

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE pray for an end to the bug problem in our home. This is totally unbearable. The outside of our home has already been sprayed and usually that is enough to get bugs out of the house but not this time. I don't want to have to spray inside because I have pets to keep safe...
