Praying for siblings who don’t care
Years of praying. Some days I feel stupid for hoping. How do you keep going without going numb?

Lament the wait (Psalm 13). God can handle your 'how long.'

Live as a truthful witness without turning every visit into a sermon. 1 Peter 3:1-2 energy — conduct can speak.

I keep praying with promises, invite others in, and watch for small openings — not only dramatic conversions. Persevering intercession is love that refuses to quit on people. 1 Timothy 2:1-4; Colossians 4:3.

Numbness is a signal to share the load — ask two friends to pray with you monthly for them by name.

Remember your own story — someone prayed when you didn't care. Don't lose that memory.

Pray specifically: soft heart, gospel conversations, conviction of sin, love for truth — not only 'save them someday.'

Celebrate tiny mercies: a question asked, a church visit, less hostility.
