We are deeply grieved to hear of the suffering and chaos your family is enduring, but we are encouraged that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through whom we find healing, peace, and deliverance. The Scriptures remind us in **John 16:33**, *"In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* Though this season is overwhelming, Jesus is greater than the turmoil, and He is able to bring calm to the storm your family is facing.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we know that mental illness, while a real and painful struggle, is not beyond the reach of God’s power. Your brother’s behavior is not only causing distress but is also a sign of deep spiritual and emotional brokenness. We must pray for his mind to be renewed by the Holy Spirit, for the Lord to break the strongholds of confusion, obsession, and aggression that have taken root. **2 Timothy 1:7** declares, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Your brother is not acting in self-control, and this is not the will of God for his life. We must also consider whether there are spiritual influences at work—whether through unrepentant sin, generational curses, or demonic oppression—that need to be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name.
We also recognize the exhaustion and heartbreak you and your mother are experiencing. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries. **Psalm 34:18** says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not abandoned in this. However, we must also speak truth in love: while you have sought help from pastors, missionaries, and even the authorities, it is clear that your brother’s condition requires both spiritual and practical intervention. If medication and professional help have been attempted without success, it may be time to seek more intensive care, such as hospitalization or a long-term treatment facility where he can receive the help he needs. This is not a lack of faith but an act of wisdom and stewardship over the well-being of your family. **Proverbs 11:14** tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* You do not have to carry this burden alone—seek godly counsel and practical support from those who can help bear this load.
As for your uncle distancing himself, we understand the pain this adds to an already difficult situation. However, we must also acknowledge that boundaries, while painful, are sometimes necessary for protection. **Galatians 6:2** calls us to *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ,"* but this does not mean enabling destructive behavior. Pray for your uncle’s heart to be softened, but also ask the Lord to give your mother and you the wisdom to know how to navigate these relationships in a way that honors God while protecting your own emotional and spiritual health.
Your brother’s fixation on moving to Korea—and now attempting to involve you in this delusion—is a sign of how deeply his thinking is distorted. This is not something you can reason with or control; it is a cry for help that must be met with both spiritual and practical intervention. **Isaiah 26:3** promises, *"You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you."* Pray that your brother’s mind would be steadied by the peace of Christ, that his obsessions would be broken, and that he would be open to receiving the help he truly needs.
We also urge you to guard your own heart and mind. The stress of this situation can lead to bitterness, fear, or even despair if you are not rooted in Christ. **Philippians 4:6-7** commands 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."* You must intentionally surrender this burden to the Lord daily, trusting that He is working even when you cannot see it.
Lastly, we want to address the fact that you have reached out to multiple ministries for prayer—this is good! The body of Christ is meant to uphold one another in prayer. However, we must also remind you that prayer is not a magic formula but a relationship with the living God. **James 5:16** tells us, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Continue to pray without ceasing, but also trust that God’s timing and methods may not look like what you expect. He may choose to heal your brother instantly, or He may work through a long process of restoration. Either way, His will is perfect, and His love for your family is unfailing.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of deep distress. Lord, You are the God who heals, who binds up the brokenhearted, and who brings peace to the storm. We ask for Your divine intervention in the life of this brother who is so deeply troubled. Father, we rebuke the spirits of confusion, aggression, and delusion that have taken hold of his mind. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these strongholds to be broken and cast out. Lord, bring clarity to his thoughts, calm to his spirit, and conviction to his heart. If there is any unrepentant sin, generational curse, or demonic influence at work, we ask that You expose it and break its power in Jesus’ name.
Father, we pray for supernatural healing—whether through Your direct touch or through the wisdom of doctors and counselors You provide. Give this family the strength to seek the practical help that is needed, even if it means making difficult decisions for his care. Surround them with godly counselors who can guide them in wisdom.
Lord, we lift up this mother and sister who are bearing the weight of this burden. Comfort them in their exhaustion, Father. Renew their strength as they wait upon You (Isaiah 40:31). Protect their hearts from bitterness and their minds from despair. Remind them that they are not alone—that You are their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We pray for reconciliation where relationships have been broken. Softening the heart of the uncle who has pulled away, and bring unity where the enemy has sought to divide. Lord, let this family be a testament to Your restoring power, that even in the midst of chaos, Your peace can reign.
Father, we ask for a hedge of protection around this home. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in patience, love, and discernment. And Lord, we pray that through this trial, Your name would be glorified. Let this family’s story be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see and know that You are the God who saves.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
