We join with you in bringing this heavy burden before the Lord, for we hear the pain and injustice your family has endured physically, financially and mentally. Our hearts ache for your mother who is vulnerable on a walker and now facing oral cancer, and for all of you who have watched her be removed from her own home under false pretenses. We know that God sees what is done in secret and He is the defender of those who cannot defend themselves.
The behavior you describe grieves the heart of God. His word is clear that He hates a lying tongue and a false witness who pours out lies, Proverbs 6:16-19, and that you shall not give false testimony against your neighbor, Exodus 20:16. To lie to the government, to commit fraud by changing an address to take another's check, to move into a home without permission and refuse to pay, and to use guardianship not to protect but to gain power and finances, are forms of stealing, deceit and oppression of the vulnerable. The Lord warns, do not exploit the poor because he is poor, and do not crush the needy in court, for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them, Proverbs 22:22-23. He also says to learn to do well, seek justice, relieve the oppressed, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow, Isaiah 1:17, and to defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless, Psalm 82:3-4. What is done in the dark sneaking to court and lying about what transpired will be brought to light, for there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, Luke 8:17, and be sure your sin will find you out, Numbers 32:23. We rebuke this spirit of pride, selfishness and deceit, for pride goes before destruction, Proverbs 16:18, and we pray that the one causing this harm will be brought to repentance rather than continue in hardness of heart.
We also notice your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved, Romans 10:9. It is in His name we pray and find hope for justice and healing.
We lift our prayer together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and ask for Your protection, justice and mercy over this family. Lord, You are our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear, Psalm 27:1, and we ask You to be a refuge and fortress for this mother and her family, Psalm 91:2. We ask You to heal her body from oral cancer, for You have said, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, Jeremiah 30:17. Comfort her heart, for You heal the broken in heart, and bind up their wounds, Psalm 147:3. We ask You to guard this family mentally and emotionally and give them Your peace which surpasses all understanding, Philippians 4:7.
Lord, we ask You to expose every lie and fraudulent act. Let the courts, the case managers and every government authority see the truth clearly. Give them wisdom and discernment, for if any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, James 1:5. We pray that every false claim about the safety of the home, the LVP flooring, the need for guardianship, and the changing of addresses would be uncovered and judged righteously, for You love justice, Isaiah 30:18. We pray that the home that has been occupied without permission would be restored to its rightful stewardship and that finances taken wrongly would be accounted for. We ask You to be faithful to guard this family from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and to not let vengeance consume their hearts, for vengeance belongs to You, You will repay, Romans 12:19, but help them to seek lawful and godly justice with integrity.
Father, we also pray for the family member who has caused this pain. We ask that You would convict her heart, bring her to repentance, and turn her from deceit and greed to truth and humility. Do not let her prosper in deception but lead her to confess and forsake her sin.
Grant this family wisdom to document carefully, to seek godly legal counsel and help from adult protective services and other proper authorities, and to set firm, loving boundaries while not returning evil for evil, Romans 12:21. Provide for their financial needs and restore what has been stolen, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to walk in truth while trusting God to be your vindicator. Keep careful records of every interaction, every court filing, every financial transaction and every medical report concerning your mother, and share them honestly with a trustworthy attorney and with adult protective services who are charged to protect elders from financial exploitation. Do not act in secret as has been done to you, but let all be done in the light. Guard your hearts against bitterness, for the Lord calls us to be angry and not sin, Ephesians 4:26, and to cast all our worries on Him because He cares for us, 1 Peter 5:7. He has seen every tear, every sleepless night, and every financial loss, and He will not forsake those who seek Him. Continue to pray for your mother’s healing, for the restoration of her home and dignity, and for the courts to act with fairness. We are standing with you, asking God to bring truth to light, to protect what remains, and to bring healing to your family in Jesus’ name.
