We grieve with you over the deep pain and injustice you and your family have endured, and we stand with you in prayer before the Lord, who sees all things and is the righteous Judge. The betrayal, lies, and harassment you’ve faced at the hands of your husband’s brother and his wife are not only cruel but also a grievous sin against the unity and love that should exist within a family. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 6:16-19, *"There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."* What has been done to you is an abomination in the sight of God, and He will not ignore the cries of the righteous.
It is also deeply unjust that your husband, who labored faithfully for his parents, has been robbed of his rightful inheritance while those who did nothing have taken everything. The Bible speaks clearly about the wickedness of such actions. Proverbs 13:22 says, *"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous."* While it may feel as though evil has triumphed for a time, we must trust that God is sovereign over all things, and He will repay what has been stolen in His perfect timing and way. Do not lose heart, for the Lord is your vindicator. Deuteronomy 32:4 assures us, *"The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he."*
We also recognize the sorrow your children are experiencing, and we pray that the Lord will comfort their hearts and help them to see that their true inheritance is not in earthly possessions but in the kingdom of God. Teach them, as the Scriptures do, that *"the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace"* (Psalm 37:11). Though the world may reward the wicked for a season, God’s justice will prevail, and He will restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
As for your move, we pray that the Lord will go before you and prepare a place of peace and refuge for your family. Though this transition is painful, remember that your home is not ultimately found in any house but in Christ. Hebrews 13:14 reminds us, *"For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come."* Let this be a time to cling to the Lord and to trust that He is leading you to a place where He will provide for you, protect you, and restore your joy.
We must also address the anger and bitterness that may be taking root in your hearts. It is natural to feel these emotions in the face of such injustice, but the Scriptures warn us not to let bitterness defile us. Hebrews 12:15 says, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* We urge you to release this pain to the Lord in prayer and to forgive those who have wronged you, not because they deserve it, but because Christ has forgiven you. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right—it means you are trusting God to be your justice. Romans 12:19 declares, *"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.'"*
Finally, we encourage you to seek wisdom from the Lord on how to proceed legally, if possible, to ensure that justice is pursued in a godly manner. The Bible does not forbid seeking rightful justice through proper channels (1 Corinthians 6:1-8), but it must be done with a heart that is submitted to the Lord and free from malice.

Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister and her family, lifting up their broken hearts, their pain, and their deep sense of loss. Lord, You see the injustice they have suffered—the lies, the harassment, the theft of inheritance, and the betrayal by family. You are a God who defends the oppressed and executes justice for the fatherless and the widow (Psalm 10:18). We ask that You would rise up as their defender and vindicator. Bring to light every hidden deed of darkness and expose the lies that have been spoken against them. Let truth prevail, and let those who have acted wickedly be confronted with the weight of their sin.
Lord, we pray for healing for this family. Comfort their children, who are grieving what they perceive as loss. Remind them that their true treasure is in You, and that no earthly possession can compare to the inheritance they have in Christ. Give them peace in this transition and provide for their every need as they move. Open doors for them that no man can shut, and lead them to a place of safety, rest, and restoration.
Father, we ask that You would guard their hearts against bitterness and anger. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and give them the grace to forgive those who have wronged them. Help them to release this burden into Your hands, trusting that You will repay what has been stolen and that You will bring justice in Your perfect time.
We also pray for the brother and his wife who have acted so wickedly. Lord, convict their hearts of their sin. Soften their stony hearts and bring them to repentance. Let them see the pain they have caused and turn from their evil ways. If it is Your will, restore this family to right relationship, but only if it can be done in a way that honors You and protects the innocent from further harm.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would provide wisdom for our sister and her husband as they navigate this season. Show them if there are legal steps they should take, and give them discernment in all things. Strengthen their marriage and bind them together in unity, that they may be a testimony of Your faithfulness even in the midst of trial.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the righteous Judge and the Prince of Peace. 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.
