Hello, everyone. I live in a multigenerational household. Stress and anger over numerous issues has been building up for awhile. There was a big (verbal) fight tonight and my father has decided to leave our family. He has said he is not coming back. I believe he is serious. It is possible other family members may decide to drift away as there is still much anger, stress, and resentment among all family members. Please pray for us all. Thank you.

My heart goes out to you and I understand totally. Stress, anger and resentment is also part of my family. We recently went to see a very good and holy priest for my husband thought we needed deliverance prayer and he feels guilty for he is the one who introduced the anger into the household in the first place for he had a severe anger problem. He deeply is sorrowful for it, but unfortunately I have gotten resentful and angry over the matter and how I have had to deal with it over the many years and my daughter has learned the behavior. I will give you the advice this priest gave me about three years ago and he gave us the same advice again but this time for my dh to pray for me and my dd. Three years ago, I told this priest how difficult it was to live with an angry man. He asked me if my dh was abused as a child and I said yes. He told me to pray over my husband every night by laying my hands over my dh’s heart and asking the Holy Spirit to heal my dh’s broken heart. It has worked. Now I am the one who gets easily angered and the priest has said that it is because of the many years of verbal abuse that I had put up with and I have resentment and angry towards my husband. He asked my dh to now pray over me and ask the Holy Spirit to heal my broken spirit and heart from the past hurt that he has caused me in the beginning of our marriage. He told him to do the same for our dd. I don’t know if this helps you or not, but it could not hurt to invoke the Holy Spirit’s help to heal your dad’s broken heart or to heal the hurt in his heart. It may take time for it took several years for my dh, but it works.

You have to persevere and be patient with the Lord. He will not disappoint you when you trust Him no matter how grim things may look. The Lord loves you and the fact that you came to ask for prayers from others is good. I hope more prayer warriors will respond in helping you with the prayers you need, but please pray yourself and pray some more and more and don’t give up. I know how anger can kill the spirit. I know how resentment can make you feel like giving up on the other person. I know how you just don’t care and want to throw in the towel, but don’t. Don’t give up on your family. You all live together which is rare yet so beautiful. I am hispanic and I remember in Puerto Rico many family’s live like that. I know many will say that is the problem and I can’t say it is or not for I am not in your household, but pray to see what the Lord is asking of you. You may be the glue for the entire family and the one who needs to intercede for them before the Lord. You yourself do a Novena to the Holy Spirit for gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. In fact Pentecost is coming soon the the Novena can be started soon. I know when I do the Novena,I get much help and support.

I will pray for you and your family. Don’t allow the cancer of anger to ruin your family. It almost ruined my marriage and my family. I am still working on helping my 11 year old dd learn now to properly show anger. She has to unlearn what she learned and show.
 
I will include your family in my prayers. Please pray for my family - 4 adult sons; 1 adult daughter, dear husband of almost 34 years (!) and we all need prayers. Thank you!
 
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Ephesians 4:31

Thank You Lord, for Your Spirit is Holy and Peaceful. We praise and adore you. Please remove the spirit of contention and division from ChristIsTheWay and all of his/her household. Let them know that true happiness comes from submission to You and Your Will. In the name of Jesus Christ.
 
Lord, please bring peace and reconciliation to this family. Help ChristIsTheWay’s father to be patient and strong spiritually. Help his family to be patient and strong spiritually as well. May this family forgive each other and try to understand each other with mutual love. Help them each to be Christlike: meek and humble of heart. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
