Please pray for the family of ###

[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 situation and all those involved. First and foremost, we must acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name alone that we are saved. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6). We pray that all involved would come to know the fullness of salvation and the transformative power of Christ’s love.

Father, we lift up this painter and his family to You. We ask that the Holy Spirit would move mightily in the lives of his parents, softening their hearts and opening their eyes to the ways they can support and guide their son in truth and love. Lord, we know that fathers have a unique responsibility to lead their children in Your ways. "Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). We pray that this father would step forward with godly wisdom, offering his son the counsel he needs to walk in integrity and repentance.

We also lift up the sister of this brother, asking that You would reveal to her the depth of Your blessings in her life. May she recognize the privilege of knowing You and the responsibility that comes with it. "For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required" (Luke 12:48). We pray that she would be a vessel of Your grace, encouraging her brother to repent and make things right. Lord, give her the courage to speak truth in love, even when it is difficult.

This situation is deeply troubling, as it involves a brother in Christ who has not only failed to fulfill his commitments but has also falsely accused another. This is a grave matter, for Scripture warns us, "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it" (Proverbs 3:27). The refusal to deliver what was paid for and the false accusations are sins that must be addressed. We rebuke the spirit of deception and dishonesty in this brother’s life, and we pray for a spirit of repentance to take hold. "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).

Lord, we ask that You would touch this brother’s heart with Your truth. Convict him of his wrongdoing and lead him to repentance. If it is Your will, we pray for the restoration of what was lost—either the return of the money or the delivery of the painting. But more than that, we pray for his soul, that he would turn back to You with a sincere heart. "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

We also pray for the one who has been wronged. Lord, we ask that You would comfort and strengthen them in this trial. Help them to release any bitterness or anger, trusting in Your justice and Your timing. "Beloved, don’t avenge yourselves, but rather give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord'" (Romans 12:19).

Father, we know that division among believers grieves Your heart. "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35). We pray that unity and love would be restored in this situation, not for the sake of man, but for the glory of Your name. May all involved seek Your face, surrender their wills to Yours, and walk in the light of Your truth.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
