My aunt's family

[jbpichu]

Hey guys, could ya'll please pray for my aunt's family? Her daughter constantly asks her to babysit because she and her husband want to go out, and it's gotten to a point where she's taking advantage of her. My aunt is Christian, but she's about had enough of her daughter taking advantage of her. Marie (her daughter) told her once "Well you don't have any plans!" or some variation of that. My mom and I are visiting and Marie thinks that we'll babysit for her. Please pray also for My aunt's son, Bryan, and his wife. They constantly bicker and Angie (Bryan's wife) claims to be a strong Christian, but her actions cause me to question that claim (I'm not judging her heart, though). She cusses my aunt out, and once went "Well don't expect anything from me!" She's called my aunt selfish, when my aunt bought their groceries, their baby's food, paid a doctor's bill, gave them money, etc. Angie's sent hate e-mails to my aunt and my aunt's had to block her.

Please pray that God would bring conviction to Angie, Marie, Bryan (he mouths off to his mom), and would give my aunt the courage to say "no"

Dear Lord Jesus you know all about us. I ask you Jesus to hear the cry of this heart. Bless I pray. Bring your peace and your joy.

Let these dear people know your love and blessing, I pray......in Jesus

Thank you my brother. Please continue to pray about this. My cousin Marie said "Well since Aunt Debra got here you've been spending all your time with her!" or some form of that. My mom said that the next time she saw Marie, she was going to tell her this "Marie, you spend 102 weeks of the year with your mom; I spend two with her." Marie also barely spoke with my aunt, my mom and me when they were over here (she's still mad because we wouldn't watch her baby). It's getting to the point where my Aunt is about to cut her off completely. Marie also said a smart remark; something like "Well if you can't be here, then I just won't get any cable!" She also fusses when my aunt has plans to go somewhere; she expects Aunt Brenda to stay at home all the time.

Bryan yells at my aunt, and fights with Marie bringing my aunt in the middle of it.

I know the bible says to not resist an evil person (not sure if that applies in this situation), but this has gotten to a point where (forgive me Lord if this is the flesh speaking) they both need to be cut off. They both keep taking advantage of her, Marie's calling my aunt selfish because she wants to spend so much time with my mom (we're only here for two weeks!) and on top of that wonders why her mom won't watch her baby because she and her husband (that is, Marie and her husband) want to go out (every single saturday). Last time I checked, that baby was Marie's, not my aunt's. Please be praying that God would show Marie that she is a mother now, and needs to be acting like one. Also pray that Bryan would get his priorities straight (and Marie's). I definitely don't want my aunt to take extreme measures if they aren't needed.

I know this isn't the counseling board, but we truly need guidance.

Father, you know the mess this family's in. Please have mercy on my cousins; they are lost sheep who need you to bring them back. Give my aunt and mother wisdom and discernment to know what to do. If it is in your will for me to say something, then I trust you will lead me to speak and will give me the words. Let your will be done in this matter and whatever decision you give to my aunt, I know it will be best. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Lord, I ask that you lay your hands on the parents of this child, so that they will see themselves as You see them. Open their hearts and their minds so that they may learn to depend on You. Let Your will be done Lord and while You are working and moving in their lives, we know that it may take them sometime to get to the place where they need to be. I just ask that you protect that child from any unseen harm and danger during this process. Please keep Your loving arms around that baby. I pray that you order the steps of everyone involved so that whatever anyone is doing or saying, it is alligned with Your will. Please show yourself Lord within this family and bring peace and togetherness. Because we know that together we stand, but divided we fall. I pray that your aunt is covered by His grace. And we know that His grace is sufficient. Hallelujah! Thank you Lord, Amen.

Lord, whatever accusations the devil is bringing against my aunt, against me, against my mom, I give all this to you and trust your grace will take us all through this. I trust that your rebuke shall bring us wisdom, that you won't allow evil to continue in this family. May the light of your truth be shown in this family.

My prayers are with your family.

May his peace and love fill their hearts.

I appreciate your feelings and I totally understand, it's normal to be upset of such actions, but sometimes we have to sacrifice many things, even if it will hurt us somehow on some level, it's not stupid, not when you are doing it only for God, despite all circumstances.

Meanwhile, I think your aunt should stand up for herself and say NO.

I will pray for her, that she may find the words to say so that no problems could occur between the family.

Gob bless.
