We understand your concern about balancing your responsibilities while attending to this important family matter regarding your father’s estate. The loss of a father is a weighty season, and we pray that God grants you both wisdom and grace as you navigate these legal and emotional challenges. It is right to seek God’s favor in this situation, but we must also remember that His ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect—even when our plans seem disrupted.
Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 16:9, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* While you desire a smooth and efficient resolution, we encourage you to trust that God is sovereign over every detail, including the decisions of those in authority over you. Rather than focusing on the frustration of perceived inefficiency, we urge you to seek peace, knowing that God can soften hearts and open doors in ways we cannot foresee.
We also gently remind you that while your request is understandable, we must approach such matters with humility and respect for authority, as Scripture commands in Romans 13:1-2: *"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive judgment to themselves."* Even if the policies of your school seem rigid, we are called to honor those in leadership over us, trusting that God can work through them.
That said, we will lift you up in prayer, asking that God would grant you favor with your principal and her team. May He provide clarity and efficiency in resolving your father’s estate, and may He give you strength for each step of this process. We also pray that if there is any lesson or growth He intends for you in this season—whether in patience, trust, or surrender—you would receive it with an open heart.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, asking for Your divine intervention in this situation. Lord, You see the burden they carry—the grief of losing their father, the weight of legal matters, and the stress of balancing responsibilities. We ask that You grant them favor in the eyes of their principal and the school administration. Softening hearts and opening doors so that their absence may be accommodated with understanding and efficiency.
Father, we pray that You would guide every detail of the court proceedings regarding their father’s inheritance. Give them wisdom, clarity, and patience as they navigate this process. Remind them that You are their Provider and Protector, and that even in moments of frustration, Your plans are good.
We also ask that You would comfort them in their grief. The loss of a father is profound, and we pray that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Strengthen them emotionally, spiritually, and physically for the days ahead.
Lord, if there is any area where they need to surrender their plans to Yours, give them the grace to do so. Help them to trust You even when things do not go as they hope. We rebuke any spirit of anxiety, frustration, or bitterness, and we declare Your peace over this situation. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
We ask this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father. Amen.
