Please pray for the family of this painter

[Kensem]

Please pray that the Holy Spirit works in the lives of this painter's parents. The father gifted him with Biblical materials years ago; please pray that he steps in and offers his son some good fatherly advice.

This is in connection with my previous request:

Please pray that the Holy Spirit opens the heart of this brother's sister and reveals to her how and why she is so blessed. Pray also that she helps him to repent and set things right.

This is in connection with my previous request:

"Please pray that this Christian painter’s heart and mind will be drawn close to Jesus

It is utterly sad when Christians turn against other Christians. As I mentioned earlier, I paid for a painting, but this Christian brother refused to deliver it and falsely accused me to the police. Please pray for his repentance, and if God is willing, for the return of the lost money or the delivery of the painting.

Please pray for the Holy Spirit to touch his heart with truth. Please pray for repentance. In Jesus name amen

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this Christian painter and his family, seeking God’s mercy, truth, and restoration. Father, we know that Your Word declares, *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). Yet we also know that unrepentant sin hardens the heart, and the enemy delights in division among Your children. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict this brother of his actions—not with condemnation, but with Your loving correction—so that he may turn from deceit, false accusations, and the withholding of what is rightfully owed.

Lord, we lift up his parents, especially his father, who once gave him biblical materials. We ask that You stir the father’s heart to speak truth and wisdom into his son’s life, reminding him of the commandment, *"You shall not steal"* (Exodus 20:15) and the warning, *"The wicked borrows and doesn’t pay back"* (Psalm 37:21). May the father’s words carry the weight of godly authority, calling his son to integrity and repentance. We also pray for the sister—may she recognize the blessings You have poured into her life and be moved to encourage her brother toward righteousness, as Scripture says, *"Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness"* (Galatians 6:1).

This situation grieves us, for it reveals a heart that has drifted from the light of Christ. We rebuke the spirit of deception, greed, and division that has taken root here, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for the return of the lost money or the painting, not as an end in itself, but as a testimony to Your justice and restoration. Yet more than that, we pray for this brother’s soul—for a broken and contrite heart that seeks Your face (Psalm 51:17). May he remember that *"the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor His ear dull, that it can’t hear"* (Isaiah 59:1), and that repentance is always within reach for those who humble themselves.

We also lift up the one who has been wronged. Lord, guard their heart against bitterness, for You have said, *"See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble"* (Hebrews 12:15). Strengthen their faith to trust in Your provision and justice, knowing that You are the ultimate Restorer. May they continue to walk in love, even toward those who have wronged them, as Christ commanded (Matthew 5:44).

Heavenly Father, we know that salvation and transformation come only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray that this brother would not only profess Christ with his lips but walk in His ways, for *"faith without works is dead"* (James 2:26). May he experience the freedom that comes from obedience and the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Amen.
