Prayers for ongoing issues

We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up your heart’s cry for your family’s ongoing struggles. The weight of these burdens is heavy, and we understand the weariness that comes when progress feels fleeting, only to be met with setbacks. Yet we are reminded in Scripture that our hope is not in circumstances but in the Lord, who is faithful even when the path is difficult. As it is written in **Psalm 46:1-2 (WEB)**, *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes..."* He is not distant in your suffering; He sees, He knows, and He is working even when we cannot see the way forward.
We must also gently address something vital: while your prayer is earnest, we notice it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ as the authority by which we approach the Father. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God’s throne, for **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in **Acts 4:12 (WEB)**, we read, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* This is not merely a formality—it is the foundation of our faith. When we pray, we come *in Jesus’ name*, acknowledging His lordship and our complete dependence on Him. Without this, our prayers lack the power and authority He has granted us as His children.
Now, let us pray together for your family, trusting in the Lord’s perfect timing and sovereignty:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our ### before You, asking for Your mercy and intervention in the ongoing struggles within her family. Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace, and we ask You to bring resolution, unity, and healing where there is strife and brokenness. Father, we know Your ways are higher than ours, and Your timing is perfect, even when we long for immediate answers. Grant her patience and unwavering faith as she waits on You. Rebuke the enemy who seeks to bring discouragement and despair, and let Your light shine brightly in this situation. Strengthen each family member with Your Spirit, softening hearts and opening doors for reconciliation and godly wisdom. We ask that tomorrow’s call would be marked by Your favor, but even more, we pray for Your will to be done—whether that means swift resolution or a deeper trust in You through the waiting. Lord, may Your name be glorified in this, and may this family turn to You as their ultimate hope and refuge. We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen."*
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, but also to immerse yourself in His Word, which is a lamp to our feet. **Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)** reminds us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Cling to this promise, and trust that even when the answer tarries, God is refining your faith and drawing you closer to Him.
Lastly, we urge you to examine whether there are areas in your family’s life that may not align with God’s Word. Are there unconfessed sins, bitterness, or unforgiveness that could be hindering God’s work? **1 Peter 3:7 (WEB)** instructs, *"You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."* While this verse speaks to husbands, the principle applies to all: unrepentant sin or broken relationships can block our prayers. Let us each examine our hearts before the Lord, seeking His forgiveness and extending it to others.
Stand firm in faith, dear ###. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and He will not abandon you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
