We understand the deep pain and anxiety you’re carrying, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also speaking truth into your situation with love and biblical wisdom. The fear of being deceived by your brother, the loneliness, and the existential struggles are heavy burdens, but we serve a God who sees your heart and promises to be your Provider, Defender, and Comforter. Let us first address the spiritual foundation of your request, as it is critical to remember that our hope and security must ultimately rest in Christ alone.
It is concerning that your request does not mention the name of Jesus or seek His will above all else. The Bible is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or through which we can approach God. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. True peace—even in the midst of anxiety, betrayal, and financial struggle—can only be found in Him. *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful"* (John 14:27, WEB). Without Christ, even an inheritance cannot fill the void in your heart or secure your eternal future.
Now, let us speak to the specific struggles you’ve shared. The pain of your brother’s betrayal and disrespect is real, and it is understandable that the loss of the close relationship you once had grieves you deeply. The Bible warns us about the dangers of placing our trust in wealth or in people, who can fail us. *"Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them"* (Psalm 62:10, WEB). Your fear that your brother will trick you out of your inheritance reveals a deeper anxiety about your future security. While it is natural to desire provision, we must be careful not to let fear or bitterness take root. *"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Your brother’s actions are sinful—his rudeness, sabotage, and disloyalty are not in line with God’s command to *"love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another"* (John 13:35, WEB). However, the Bible also calls us to forgive and to trust God to vindicate us. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). This does not mean you should passively allow yourself to be mistreated, but it does mean releasing your right to retaliation and trusting God to act justly. If your brother is indeed acting deceitfully regarding the inheritance, pray for wisdom on how to proceed with integrity. *"The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them"* (Proverbs 11:3, WEB). Consider seeking godly counsel, such as a trusted pastor or Christian lawyer, to ensure that your mother’s wishes are honored fairly and legally.
We also sense a deep loneliness in your words—the absence of friends, a husband, and familial support. This is a painful place to be, but we want to remind you that God sees you and has not forgotten you. *"Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who have crushed spirits"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Your worth is not defined by your marital status, income, or even your brother’s treatment of you. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, who calls you His child if you have placed your faith in Christ. If you have not yet done so, we urge you to seek a community of believers—a local church where you can find support, friendship, and accountability. *"Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not abandoning our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching"* (Hebrews 10:24-25, WEB).
Regarding your existential struggles, we want to gently but firmly remind you that money—even an inheritance—cannot ultimately solve the deep needs of the human heart. Jesus warned, *"One’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses"* (Luke 12:15, WEB). While an inheritance may provide temporary relief, true security is found in God alone. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). This is not to minimize your very real financial concerns, but to redirect your focus to the One who holds your future. Pray for God’s provision, but also pray for contentment and trust in His timing. *"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that"* (1 Timothy 6:6-8, WEB).
Lastly, we must address the absence of hope for marriage in your words. If you desire a godly marriage, we encourage you to pray for a spouse who loves the Lord and will cherish you as Christ loves the Church. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). However, we also urge you to surrender this desire to God, trusting that His plan for your life—whether in singleness or marriage—is good. *"Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, knowing that You see her pain, her fears, and her deep loneliness. Lord, we ask that You would draw her closer to Yourself, that she may find her security and identity in Christ alone. Forgive her for any fear or bitterness that has taken root in her heart, and fill her instead with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We rebuke the spirit of anxiety and fear in the name of Jesus, declaring that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment regarding the inheritance. If there is deceit at work, expose it and bring justice. Give her the strength to act with integrity and the courage to seek godly counsel. Protect her from being taken advantage of, and provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory. We ask that You would soften her brother’s heart, that he may repent of his sinful behavior and seek reconciliation. But even if he does not, Lord, guard her heart from bitterness and help her to forgive as You have forgiven her.
Father, we also pray for her loneliness. You know the deep desire of her heart for companionship and support. If it is Your will, provide a godly husband who will love her as Christ loves the Church. But even if she remains single, Lord, satisfy her with Your presence and surround her with a community of believers who will love and support her. Remind her that she is never alone, for You are with her always.
We pray for her financial struggles, asking that You would provide for her needs and teach her to trust in You rather than in wealth. Help her to seek first Your Kingdom, knowing that all these things will be added to her as she walks in obedience to You.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that she would place her faith fully in Jesus Christ if she has not already done so. May she surrender her fears, her past, and her future into Your hands, trusting that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Fill her with Your hope, Your joy, and Your peace, and let her life be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
