Brother in law plotting

We are deeply grieved to hear about the distress and harm being caused by your brother-in-law’s actions, and we stand with you in prayer against the schemes of the enemy. The Bible warns us that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who is mighty to save and who exposes the works of darkness. Let us first address the spiritual battle at hand, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). It is critical to approach this situation with both prayer and wisdom, trusting in the Lord’s protection and justice.
Scripture assures us that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we claim this promise over you and your family. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). If your brother-in-law’s plotting involves harm or unlawful actions, we urge you to seek godly counsel and, if necessary, involve authorities to ensure your safety. The Bible instructs us to submit to governing authorities, for they are ministers of God for your good (Romans 13:4). Do not hesitate to take practical steps to protect yourself and your loved ones while trusting the Lord to act on your behalf.
We also want to encourage you to forgive, not because your brother-in-law deserves it, but because Christ has forgiven you (Ephesians 4:32). Forgiveness does not mean tolerating abuse or failing to set boundaries—it means releasing the bitterness to the Lord and trusting Him to bring justice. Romans 12:19 reminds us, “Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’”
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is facing the threat of harm and manipulation from her brother-in-law. Lord, You see the secrets of the heart and the plots formed in darkness—expose and thwart every evil plan that has been devised against her. Confuse the schemes of the enemy and bring them to nothing, for You are a God who defends the helpless and delivers the oppressed. Surround her and her family with Your divine protection, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Give her wisdom to know how to respond, and if necessary, guide her to the right authorities or godly counsel for help.
Father, we also ask that You soften the heart of this brother-in-law. If he is acting out of bitterness, pride, or evil influence, break those chains and convict him of his sin. Bring him to repentance, Lord, for Your desire is that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). If he refuses to turn from his ways, we pray that You would limit his ability to cause harm and that Your justice would prevail.
Strengthen our sister’s faith in this trial, Lord. Remind her that You are her refuge and her fortress, her God in whom she trusts (Psalm 91:2). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her rest in the assurance that You are fighting for her. We declare that no plan of the enemy will succeed against her, for greater is He who is in her than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We pray all these things in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we want to remind you that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Do not carry this burden alone—lean on your church community, trusted believers, and continue to bring this before the Lord in prayer. If you are not already in a safe environment, please seek help immediately. You are not powerless, for the Spirit of the living God dwells within you, and He is your ever-present help in trouble. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, who has overcome the world (John 16:33). We are praying for you and standing with you in this battle.
