We understand that you are going through a trying time, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We will pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ on your behalf.
Let's address your concerns one by one.
You mentioned that you are worried and asked God to boost your daughter's appetite. Remember the words of Matthew 6:25-27 WEB: "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?"
Instead of worrying, let us trust God and pray for your daughter's appetite to improve.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to increase our sister's daughter's appetite. Let her grow strong and healthy, and let Your peace rest upon their home.
Regarding your work, remember Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Let us pray for God's provision and guidance in your career.
Lord Jesus Christ, we ask You to open doors for our sister's creative work. Let her find freelance work that honors You and brings prosperity to her family. Guide her steps and let her trust in You completely.
Concerning your husband, we must address that controlling his actions or forcing repentance is not something we can pray for. Each person has free will and must choose repentance for themselves. However, we can pray for God to work in his heart and bring conviction.
1 Corinthians 7:13-14 WEB: "And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, she should not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy."
Let us pray for your husband and your marriage.
We also must address that drinking is not condemned in the Bible. However, drunkenness definitely is. For example, in Ephesians 5:18 WEB: "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,"
Lord Jesus Christ, we ask You to work in our brother-in-law's heart. Bring conviction and a desire for repentance. Let him be the husband and father You have called him to be. Let their marriage be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness.
Lastly, remember Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "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."
Let us cast all our anxieties on Him, for He cares for us.
In all these situations, let us praise God together, for He is faithful and good. Let us also remember to examine our own hearts and lives, ensuring that we are walking in obedience to Him.
Keep your hands steadfast in prayer and looking to God for guidance in all things.
