Lord Jesus, calm the storm raging in SIL just like You calmed the storm for Your apostles. She says she’s confused and clueless despite all the words I’ve spoken to her. Something in her is preventing her from seeing, hearing, and understanding.

But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded him. 1 John 2:11

For this people’s heart has grown dull and with their ears they can barely hear and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them. Acts 28:27

Lord, I know this is about people seeing and hearing You, but I feel like it’s also about SIL seeing and hearing me. She seems to fit this description exactly. She doesn’t want to see for seeing involves pain and she does everything she can to avoid pain just like she avoids responsibility for her part in the problems that are impacting her. This attitude seems so cemented in her that she may never change. But I know nothing is too strong for You. Nothing is impossible to You. I pray that You heal her, open her eyes and ears a little more each day until she can look into the light of truth and own what she’s done, so that she can repent and be freed and healed and restored.

In Your Brilliant Name,

Amen.
