Beloved of All
I need prayers for my family. I can't stand the situation anymore. My brother is mentally ill and I have no idea what to do anymore. He's often screaming at me on the video calls and yelling at my mom. Now he is having an idea to move to Korea and travel whatever. Now he's forcing my mom to go and is calling, yelling at me to go. (I had major stomach surgery and can't travel) he won't stop yelling and hung up with violence that he's angry as I said I don't know if I can go. I can't take his anger anymore. Jesus Christ please heal him and stop this nonsense.
 
We lift your heartbreaking situation before the Lord, knowing that He is the God of all comfort and the Prince of Peace who can bring healing and restoration where there is chaos and pain. Your brother’s mental illness is a heavy burden for your entire family, and we grieve with you over the anger, fear, and exhaustion you are experiencing. The Lord sees your suffering and hears your cries, and He is not distant from this struggle. Let us turn to Scripture for truth and hope in this moment, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, even in the darkest valleys.

The Bible reminds us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten, and neither is your brother. Mental illness is a profound trial, but it does not mean God has abandoned your family. In **2 Corinthians 12:9**, the Lord tells us, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* Even when we feel powerless, His strength is made manifest in our lives. Your weakness in this moment is an opportunity for God’s power to work mightily—both in your brother’s healing and in your ability to endure with faith.

We must also address the spiritual reality of this battle. **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Mental illness can have physical and spiritual components, and we must pray with authority against any spiritual oppression or influence that may be exacerbating your brother’s condition. At the same time, we pray for wisdom for medical and practical support, for God often uses doctors, counselors, and medication as tools for healing.

Your brother’s demands and anger are not only a result of his illness but also a reflection of his need for the peace that only Christ can give. **James 1:19-20** urges us, *"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God."* While his outbursts are painful, we pray that you and your mother will be guarded by the Holy Spirit, responding with wisdom and boundaries rather than reacting in fear or frustration. It is okay to set limits for your own well-being, especially as you recover from surgery. **Proverbs 22:3** says, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* You are not obligated to comply with demands that could harm your health or enable unhealthy behavior. Pray for discernment in how to love your brother well while protecting yourself and your mother from further emotional harm.

As for his desire to travel, we pray for God’s intervention. If this is not His will, we ask the Lord to close doors and bring clarity. **Proverbs 16:9** reminds us, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* Trust that God can redirect your brother’s plans according to His perfect will. If travel is not wise or safe at this time, pray that the Lord will make it impossible or reveal a better path.

Most importantly, we must lift your brother before the throne of grace, asking for his salvation and deliverance if he does not yet know Christ. True healing begins with a surrendered heart to Jesus. **1 Peter 5:7** encourages us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Your brother needs to encounter the love of Christ in a way that breaks through his illness and anger. Pray that the Holy Spirit will convict him of his need for Jesus and draw him into a relationship with the Savior. If he is already a believer, pray for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit’s comfort and renewal in his mind.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting this precious family to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God who heals, who restores, and who brings peace out of chaos. We ask for Your mercy and intervention in this situation. Touch our brother’s mind, Lord—calm the storm within him and bring healing to his thoughts and emotions. Rebuke any spiritual forces that may be oppressing him, and let Your light drive out the darkness. Give him a sound mind and a heart that is open to Your love and truth.

Father, we pray for wisdom for this family—show them how to respond to his anger with love, but also with boundaries that honor You. Guard their hearts from bitterness and fear, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Give them the words to speak and the strength to endure. Lord, if travel is not Your will, we ask You to close every door and make Your path clear. Let no decision be made in haste or fear, but only in alignment with Your perfect plan.

We also pray for salvation and surrender in our brother’s life. If he does not know You, Lord, soften his heart to receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, as his Savior. If he has strayed, draw him back to You with cords of love. Let him encounter Your presence in a way that transforms his mind and spirit. Remind him that You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Lord, we ask for supernatural patience and endurance for this family. Heal their wounds, restore their hope, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways. Provide them with godly counsel, medical support, and a community of believers to walk alongside them. Let them not grow weary in well-doing, but trust that You are working even when they cannot see it.

Finally, Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear, confusion, and despair that may be trying to take hold. We declare that You are sovereign over this situation, and we trust in Your goodness. Let Your will be done in our brother’s life and in this family, for Your glory and their ultimate good.

In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray, **Amen.**

Stand firm in faith, dear one. This battle is not yours to fight alone—the Lord is with you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and do not lose heart. **"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"** (**Galatians 6:9**). Lean on the body of Christ for support, and remember that even in this storm, God is working for your good and His glory. We are praying with you and for you.
 
Oh dear friend, we're right here with you, lifting your heavy heart and your brother's situation before the Lord. We know the weight you're carrying, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're here to pray with you, to stand with you, and to remind you that God is near.

We're asking the Lord to touch your brother's mind, to calm the storm within him, and to bring healing to his thoughts and emotions. We're praying for a supernatural peace to fill your home, a peace that only God can give. We're asking Him to give your family the wisdom to respond to your brother's anger with love, but also with boundaries that honor God. And we're trusting that God will direct your brother's steps, closing doors that aren't part of His plan and opening ones that are.

But most importantly, we're praying for your brother's salvation. We're asking God to soften his heart, to draw him to Jesus, and to remind him that God is his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Keep trusting, dear one. Keep praying. We're right here with you, and we're not giving up. God is working, even when you can't see it. He's got this.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
