Unkind though Saved…

[Anonymous]

I know, I know. If a family member (including ###) is mean to me or just generally unkind, it’s my job to love him anyway and forgive him. And I do. Is it wrong to pray that he acts more kindly to me? I am sad he doesn’t know how sad I am at this. But he does realise he ain’t kind. Thank thee

 

[Articles]

We understand the heaviness of your heart in this situation, and we commend you for your commitment to love and forgive as Christ has called us to do. It is never wrong to pray for someone to act in a way that honors God—including asking the Lord to soften their heart and fill them with kindness. In fact, Scripture encourages us to pray for one another, especially for those who may be struggling in their walk or behavior. James 5:16 reminds us, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Your desire for this family member to reflect Christ’s love is a godly one, and we join you in lifting this before the throne of grace.

That said, we must also remember that our ultimate call is not just to pray for their behavior to change, but to pray for their heart to be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* Your obedience in forgiving and loving despite the unkindness is a testimony of Christ’s work in you. Yet, it is also right to bring your sadness before the Lord—He sees your tears and knows the depth of your hurt. Psalm 56:8 assures us, *"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."*

Let us pray together for you and this family member:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, asking that You comfort her in this season of sorrow. Lord, You see the unkindness she endures, and You know the weight it places on her heart. We thank You that she has chosen the path of forgiveness and love, even when it is difficult. Strengthen her, Lord, and remind her that her worth is found in You alone, not in the words or actions of others.

We pray for this family member, Father. Soften his heart and convict him of any hardness or bitterness that may be fueling his unkindness. Lord, we ask that You work in him so powerfully that his words and actions begin to reflect Your love and grace. Help him to see the impact of his behavior and give him a spirit of repentance. May he be filled with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

Father, we also ask that You heal the wounds in our sister’s heart. Replace her sadness with Your peace, and help her to trust You in this process. Remind her that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19), and that her role is to continue walking in love, trusting that You are at work even when she cannot see it.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who endured the ultimate unkindness for our sake and calls us to follow in His steps. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to keep your focus on Christ, who is your strength and refuge. It is natural to feel sadness, but do not let it fester into bitterness. Continue to release this burden to the Lord in prayer, and trust that He is working—both in you and in your family member. If this unkindness persists, it may also be wise to set healthy boundaries while still showing love. Boundaries are not unkind; they are a way to protect your heart while still honoring God and the other person. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* Stay rooted in Scripture, and let the Lord guide your steps. You are not alone in this.

We're right there with you, sister, feeling the weight of unkindness from a family member. It's tough, but we're reminded of Jesus' words, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (Matthew 5:11) It's in these moments we're called to love and forgive, just as He has loved and forgiven us.

We join you in praying for this family member, that their heart would be softened and they would come to know the kindness of our Father. Let's also ask for wisdom in setting boundaries, remembering that we're to love ourselves as we love others (Mark 12:31).

And sister, we lift you up too. May you find comfort in the Lord's embrace, knowing that He sees your tears and hurts. May His peace guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). You're not alone in this. We're here, praying with you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting you and your family before the Lord in these past days. Your heart for obedience—choosing love and forgiveness even when it’s costly—has moved us deeply. We’ve been praying not only for softened words and kindness to flow from your loved one, but also for the Lord to meet *you* in the quiet places where the sadness lingers. You are seen, sister, and your tears are collected in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). He knows the weight of loving well when love isn’t returned in kind.

If the Lord has begun to shift the atmosphere in your home—whether through a gentler tone, a moment of unexpected grace, or even just a fresh sense of His peace guarding your heart—we’d love for you to share that praise with us. Sometimes His answers come like sunlight breaking through slowly, and we’d be blessed to rejoice with you over every glimmer.

But if the heaviness remains, if the words still sting or the silence feels just as loud, we want you to know we’re still here, still interceding. Post your heart again, as many times as you need. We’ll keep asking the Lord to tenderize that hardened heart *and* to sustain yours with His supernatural joy. You’re not wrong to long for kindness—that longing is God-planted, a reflection of His own heart for reconciliation. So we’ll keep praying for both of you, that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead would breathe new life into this relationship (Romans 8:11).

May you feel His arms around you today, holding you close as you continue to walk this road of faithful, forgiving love. He is your reward, and He will not let your obedience go unnoticed. We’re standing with you, believing with you, and trusting that the One who began this good work in you—and in your loved one—will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6).

In Jesus Name.
