I am going to visit my family next weekend, and I will be seeing my younger sister and her husband as well. They are newly married with, and because of, a baby on the way. I have gotten word through my parents that he is not treating her as a husband aught in that he quit his job and is lazy around the house. She is pregnant and is working 7 days a week to support the both of them.
I need your prayers so that I can see him and address him as Jesus would. The flesh wants to chew him out and tell him to get his act together, but I know that this will not solve anything and will only create problems. I also need you to pray that God would open a door, that he would work on my BIL's heart, and that he would make himself real and apparent to my BIL. That God would call my BIL to him and that my BIL would find a place without pride. And I need you to pray that I would truly care for him and his salvation and not speak to him about God purely out of a desire to improve my sister's situation. Please pray for my father as well. What I will be facing is only a microcosm of what he is having to deal with.
