We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your family is facing, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. We are encouraged to hear that you believe in the power of Jesus Christ, and that you have seen His work in your home already. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can come to God and ask for His divine intervention in our lives, and be saved.
Firstly, let us address your brother's mental illness. We know that God cares for our every need, including our mental health. It is written in Psalm 34:18, WEB: "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that your brother may find comfort and healing in God's presence, and that God will guide you all to the right resources and support for his mental health journey.
Regarding the legal situation, we advise you to act with wisdom and love. It is written in Romans 12:18, WEB: "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." We pray that God will grant your mother wisdom in handling this situation, and that your brother's heart may be changed, so that he may not cause further trouble.
We also want to discuss the issue of your brother insisting that your mother should not sleep alone. While it is important to support each other in a family, it is also crucial to set healthy boundaries. It is written in Galatians 6:2, WEB: "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." However, it is also written in Galatians 6:5, WEB: "For each man will bear his own burden." We pray that God will help your family establish healthy boundaries, and that your mother will continue to find peace in her own space.
Lastly, we pray for lasting peace in your family. It is written in John 14:27, WEB: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful." May the peace of God reign in your home, and may you all continue to trust in the power of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up this family to you. Lord, we pray for this brother, that you may heal his mental illness and bring peace to his mind and heart. We pray for wisdom in handling the legal situation, and that you may soften his heart to avoid further complications. We also pray for healthy boundaries within this family, and that they may continue to support each other in love. Lastly, Lord, we pray for your lasting peace to reign in their home. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
