We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation between you and your brother. Family relationships are sacred, and when they are strained by injustice, neglect, or selfishness, it wounds deeply. We stand with you in prayer, asking God to move mightily in this circumstance.
The Bible tells us in Micah 6:8, *"He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"* Your brother is called to act justly toward you, especially in matters of inheritance, which Scripture also addresses with clarity. Proverbs 20:23 warns, *"Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing."* If your brother is withholding what is rightfully yours or neglecting his responsibility, this is not only unjust but displeasing to God.
We also hear your cry for truth and protection. The Lord sees all things, and He will reveal what is hidden. Proverbs 2:6-8 says, *"For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints."* We pray that God would open your brother’s eyes to the harm he is causing and soften his heart to make things right. If there is deception or selfish ambition in his heart, may the Lord expose it and bring repentance.
You also ask for divine intervention against spiritual attacks. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy seeking to bring division, strife, or financial harm to your family. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We stand in the authority of Jesus’ name to break every assignment of the devil over your family’s finances and peace. The Lord is your protector, and He will not allow the enemy to prevail.
We pray now, lifting this burden before the throne of grace:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened by this family conflict. Lord, You see the injustice and neglect that has caused pain, stress, and frustration. We ask that You would move in Your brother’s heart, convicting him of his responsibility to act justly and with love. Soften his heart, Lord, and open his eyes to the harm he has caused. If there is deception or selfishness in his heart, expose it and lead him to repentance.
Father, we also ask for wisdom and clarity for [the one praying]. Show them the truth of what is in their brother’s mind and guide them in how to respond. Protect their peace, their finances, and their heart from bitterness or fear. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn.
Lord, we rebuke the enemy’s schemes over this family. We break every assignment of division, strife, or financial harm in Jesus’ name. Let Your peace reign, and let Your justice prevail. We trust in You, the righteous Judge, to make all things right according to Your will.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to You. Amen."*
In this time, we encourage you to seek godly counsel, perhaps from a trusted pastor or Christian mediator, to help navigate this situation with wisdom. Proverbs 15:22 says, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not carry this burden alone.
We also remind you to guard your heart against bitterness. Ephesians 4:31-32 urges, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness does not mean excusing injustice, but it frees your heart from the poison of resentment.
Lastly, trust in the Lord’s timing and justice. Romans 12:19 assures us, *"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.’"* God sees your struggle, and He will not abandon you. Keep your eyes on Him, and let His peace rule in your heart.
