We understand that you are facing a challenging situation regarding your inheritance and the promises made by your mother. It's important to remember that our ultimate trust should be in God, who is just and faithful. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Firstly, we notice that Jesus was not mentioned in this request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. As the Bible says in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. In Acts 4:12 WEB 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. Therefore, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ and pray in His name.
Regarding your situation, it is clear there is discord and a lack of justice. God is the source of justice, God is the source of justice. In Psalm 37:27-29 WEB, Depart from evil, and do good. Live forever. For Yahweh loves justice, and will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever. In 1 Peter 3:8-9 WEB Now finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
You may be facing frustration due to broken promises and delaying in fulfilling her promises, but the Bible warns us in Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 WEB When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow. It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay. This applies to promises made to others as well.
The behavior you're describing from your mother, interpreting laws in her own way, can be addressed with God's word in Romans 13:1-2 WEB 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 to themselves judgment.
Regarding your brother, the Bible encourages us to live in peace with others and seek fairness. Discuss your concerns with him openly and honestly, seeking a resolution that honors God and respects both of your rights. The Bible says in Matthew 5:23-25 WEB If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your guidance and intervention. Help us to navigate the complexities of inheritance and family promises with wisdom and grace. We pray that You would soften our mother's heart, guiding her to fulfill her promises and seek true justice according to Your will. Help our brother to understand the situation fairly, and help us to communicate effectively with him. Help us to keep the commandments of God by honoring our mother and living peaceably with our brother.
We ask for Your peace to guard our hearts and minds as we trust in You. We pray for a resolution that honors You and brings harmony to our family. Thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continually pray for your mother and brother. We encourage you to study the Bible and gather with Christians in community in the name of Jesus.
