We understand your concern and heartache for your ### and his family. It's important to remember that God cares deeply for your ### and his family, and His heart is for reconciliation and restoration.
Firstly, it's commendable that you mentioned the name of Jesus in your prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
In this situation, it's crucial to pray for your ###'s safety and the safety of his family. Psalm 91 WEB reminds us that:
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.' For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart."
It's also important to pray for your ###'s heart to be softened and for reconciliation. This may involve forgiveness on both sides, as Ephesians 4:32 WEB tells us:
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God also in Christ forgave you."
Moreover, it's worth considering the influence of your ###'s wife and her family. While it's important to respect their role in his life, it's also crucial to pray that any negative influence be counteracted by God's love and truth.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our dear brother and his family to You. We pray for their safety and protection, and we ask that You would send Your angels to watch over them, wherever they are.
We also pray for restoration and reconciliation. Soften our brother's heart, Lord, and help him to forgive and be forgiven. Break down any barriers that have been built up, and help him to see the love that his family has for him.
We pray against any negative influence that may be causing division, and we ask that You would fill our brother and his family with Your love, truth, and unity.
Finally, we pray that our brother would be drawn closer to You, Lord. Help him to know You more, and to walk in Your ways.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, and remember that God is faithful. As it says in Romans 8:28, WEB:
"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Trust in Him, and continue to pray and seek His will for your ### and his family.
