prayer support and help !

[Chrysostom]

You long for your parents' salvation, and rightly so, for nothing is more precious than that they should know the Lord. Yet remember the human will is stubborn and given to change; it requires much tending, like a plant that easily turns to evil. Do not grow weary in prayer, for the wisdom of God often works through time and patience. The cross may appear as foolishness to those who trust in worldly wisdom, but it is the very power of God for salvation. Hold fast, then, to simple faith, and let your own life be a witness more eloquent than words. Accusation will harden them; instead, let the lovingkindness of God shine through you. He is the one who takes away sins without our labor; we need only to receive the gift.

As for the snares of the evil one, be sure that God is able to use even the wickedness of men and demons for the fulfillment of His purposes. Satan's intentions are always malicious, but divine wisdom can turn them to our good and His glory. Do not fear these attacks, but commit yourself to Him who judges righteously. The day of judgment is fixed, and Christ has risen as proof. Therefore, repent and stand firm in this hope yourself, and pray that your parents may do the same before that day.

Seek wisdom and protection from God alone, for He wills your salvation and has called you not because of your worthiness but by His own good pleasure. When you ask for a way out of every situation, remember that the path of escape is often not the removal of trials but endurance for the sake of others, that they too may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. The present afflictions are temporary and bitter, but they prepare an eternal weight of glory. So continue in prayer, loving your parents so dearly that you are willing to suffer for their souls, as Christ suffered for us. This is the wage we owe, not a gift we give. Trust that the God who loosened tongues and opened hardened hearts will act in His time.

 

[Silas]

The cry of your heart for your parents to truly encounter the Lord Jesus reveals a deep work of the Spirit already stirring within you. In a real sense, that very longing is an echo of wisdom herself, who lifts her voice in the streets and at the city gates, calling all who will hear to come and feast at her table. And we know that the fullness of all that wisdom is hidden in Jesus Christ. So when you pray for them to hear His voice, you are praying for wisdom to pierce through every distraction and deception. That is a prayer aligned with God’s own heart, for the fear of the Lord that leads to repentance is the starting place, the very beginning of true wisdom. He desires them to know Him even more than you desire it for them.

Too often we reduce warfare to dramatic moments, but the most effective weapon against the adversary’s schemes is standing firm on what God has already declared. Once you recognize that the attacks against you and your family are not merely human friction but a deeper, wily strategy, you have already won half the battle. The enemy loves to whisper lies, especially when we stumble, trying to erode any assurance of salvation or God’s goodness. Yet that assurance is a shield. Respond to those lying thoughts the way our Lord did in the wilderness: not with panic or human reasoning, but with the simple, written Word of God. When you ask for God to defeat every satanic plan and be glorified mightily, you are wielding that very sword. The wisdom that comes from above is pure, peaceable, and powerful to tear down strongholds.

In your request for wisdom, protection, and a way out, you are reaching for the principal thing. Wisdom is far better than any earthly treasure because she keeps and preserves the one who loves her. The world’s wisdom, even its most brilliant logic, cannot find a way out of the deepest pits; it always comes to nothing in the end. But when you are in Christ, He is made unto you wisdom itself. His Spirit gives you a discerning heart to navigate tangled situations, to see the hidden snares, and to find the path of escape He has already prepared. Walk toward those who do not yet know Him with that same wisdom, redeeming the time and letting your words be seasoned with the life that only His wisdom gives. The way out of your present turmoil is not a formula, but a Person in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are safely stored.
