I need prayer for my brother. Me and my 3 of my siblings siblings grew up in a very abusive house with my biological dad. He was my brothers stepdad so when they were 16 and 14 they went to go live with their step dad in California, Leaving me, my sister, and mom with my dad. Now it has been many years and we got away from my dad but we all struggle with the trauma of it all. Because of this it make my brother push away from God and resent him. So because of this he has desired to be a transgender because it’s how he is responding to the trauma of what my dad called him and did to him. Me and my mom and sister have kindly expressed that because we believe in Jesus and believe that what my brother is doing is a sin, we can’t use his other pronouns and he went call him by his new girl name. We just don’t want to be feeding into the spirit that has a hold on him. But we said we could all still talk and we will love him and refrain from using any name or pronoun that way we can all meet in the middle. But now he doesn’t really talk to us and he has completely shunned our mom. So he needs lots of prayer for clarity and healing from this spirit of confusion and pride.

Thats sounds like an really hard time. This morning's sermon was about Job. Chapter 3: 25-26. Job was converted, lost his children, and then cursed the day he was born. He says he didn't see all these difficulties coming. But the Lord tested him. The Lord even allowed the devil to have his way. After this severe trial, Job even receives much in return. You and your family are also tested, but so is your brother. Sometimes trials last for years, and we fail to see that they are a lesson, a path of patience. Keep praying, beseech Him on your knees, and keep praying for your brother. Because prayer is such a great thing when the Holy Spirit works through it.
