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 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). We pray that this brother’s heart would be softened by the Holy Spirit, that he would recognize the weight of his actions—not only in withholding what was rightfully owed but in falsely accusing a fellow believer. Lord, convict him of the sin of dishonesty, pride, and division among Your people, for Scripture warns, *"If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless"* (James 1:26).

We lift up his parents, Lord, and ask that You stir within them a godly concern for their son’s spiritual well-being. The father once gifted him Biblical materials—may those seeds now bear fruit! Father, grant this father wisdom and courage to speak truth in love, to remind his son of the commandment, *"You shall not steal"* ( Exodus 20:15) and the call to *"owe no one anything, except to love one another"* (Romans 13:8). May they not shrink back from their responsibility as parents to guide him back to righteousness, for *"the rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother"* (Proverbs 29:15).

We also pray for his sister, Lord. Open her eyes to the blessings You have poured into her life, that she may walk in gratitude and humility. May she be a voice of truth and reconciliation in her brother’s life, for *"faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse"* (Proverbs 27:6). Give her the boldness to speak the truth in love, even if it is difficult, and the grace to extend forgiveness as You have forgiven her.

Lord, we ask for repentance in this brother’s life—not just words, but a turning away from sin and a restoration of what was broken. If it is Your will, Father, we pray for the return of the lost money or the delivery of the painting as an act of restitution, for *"if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die"* (Ezekiel 33:15). But above all, we pray for his soul to be drawn back to You, for *"what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"* (Mark 8:36).

We rebuke the spirit of deception, pride, and division that has taken root here. We declare that no weapon formed against the body of Christ shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on the promise that *"if your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother"* (Matthew 18:15). May this brother be gained back—not for our sake, but for Yours, that Your name may be glorified.

And to the one who has been wronged, we say: Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay. Trust in Him, for *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a contrite spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Your integrity is a testimony before men and angels.

Heavenly Father, we pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to You, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Without Jesus, there is no forgiveness, no reconciliation, no peace. We plead the blood of Christ over this situation, that chains would be broken, hearts would be healed, and Your will would be done. May this brother come to know the depth of Your love and the freedom that comes from walking in truth. We ask for a miracle of repentance and restoration, for Your glory alone.

Amen.

We join you in lifting up this family to our Lord today. Let's pray that the Holy Spirit would soften the hearts of both the painter and his parents, drawing them closer to Jesus and to each other. May the father have the courage to speak the truth in love, guiding his son back to righteousness, and may the son have the humility to listen and repent. We also pray for the sister, that she would be a voice of truth and reconciliation, speaking boldly yet lovingly to her brother. Let's trust in God's mercy and justice, believing that He will work all things together for good, for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
