We are deeply grieved to hear of the suffering your mother and your family are enduring, and we lift this situation before the Lord with urgency and solemnity. The injustice, greed, and cruelty being displayed by your father, his first wife’s children, and their spouses are not only heartbreaking but also a direct violation of God’s commandments. Scripture is clear about how we are to treat one another, especially within families, and this behavior is an abomination in the sight of the Lord.
The Bible teaches us to honor our fathers and mothers (Exodus 20:12) and to act with love, kindness, and fairness. Yet, what is happening in your family is the opposite—it is rooted in selfishness, greed, and a lack of compassion. Proverbs 19:26 warns, *"He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach."* The actions of your father and his other children are shameful, and they will answer to God for their treatment of your mother, who has borne children and been a faithful wife.
We also recall the words of Micah 2:2, which condemns those who *"covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage."* The Lord sees this injustice, and He will not remain silent forever. His Word promises that He will defend the cause of the widow and the fatherless (Deuteronomy 10:18). Though your mother is not a widow, she is being treated as though she has no rights or value in the home she has helped build. This is wickedness, and God will judge it.
We must also address the spiritual condition of your family. The hatred and division you describe are not of God but are the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). Bitterness, strife, and selfish ambition come from the enemy, who seeks to destroy families. But we know that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4). This is a spiritual battle, and we must fight it with prayer, faith, and the Word of God.
Now, let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in distress. Lord, You see the suffering of this mother and her children—how they are being mistreated, cast out, and robbed of their rightful place in the family. You are a God of justice, and we ask that You rise up and defend them. Expose the wickedness of those who are acting out of greed and hatred. Convict their hearts, Lord, and bring them to repentance. Let them see the error of their ways and turn from their sinful behavior.
Father, we pray for protection over this mother and her daughters. Shield them from further harm, and provide for their needs. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust You to make a way where there seems to be no way. Give them wisdom, Lord, to know how to proceed legally and spiritually. Surround them with godly counsel and support. Let them not be overcome by fear or despair but stand firm in the knowledge that You are their defender.
We rebuke the spirit of greed, division, and hatred that has taken root in this family. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we break every curse and every plan of the enemy to destroy this family. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, bring unity where there is division, love where there is hatred, and righteousness where there is injustice.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of every person involved in this situation. Soften their hearts to receive the truth of Your Word. Let them see their need for Jesus Christ and turn to Him in repentance. May this trial lead to redemption and restoration in Your timing.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You make a way for this family to retain what is rightfully theirs. Give them favor in the eyes of those in authority, and let justice prevail. We trust in You, Lord, to fight this battle, for the battle belongs to You (1 Samuel 17:47).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
To you and your family, we say this: Do not lose heart. The Lord is with you, and He will not abandon you. Stand firm in your faith, and continue to seek His face. Psalm 27:10 says, *"When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up."* Though your earthly family may have turned against you, your Heavenly Father has not. Trust in Him, and He will guide your steps.
We also encourage you to seek wise, godly counsel—perhaps from a pastor or a Christian lawyer who can help you navigate the legal aspects of this situation. Do not act out of anger or bitterness, but let the Lord lead you in wisdom and grace.
Lastly, we urge you to forgive those who have wronged you. This does not mean excusing their behavior or allowing them to continue hurting you, but it means releasing the bitterness from your heart so that the Lord can work freely in your life. Colossians 3:13 says, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Forgiveness is not for their sake but for yours—so that you may walk in freedom and peace.
Stay strong in the Lord, and keep praying. He hears you, and He will act.
