We hear the deep weariness and heartache in your cry, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is your refuge and strength in this overwhelming season. Your faithfulness in the midst of such hardship is a testament to your trust in Him, even when the burden feels unbearable. Let us first give thanks that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we find access to the Father and the promise of His provision and peace. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). In this name, we stand with you, believing that God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Your situation reveals layers of injustice, betrayal, and financial strain that have left you feeling abandoned and exhausted. The weight of carrying this resort—once a source of livelihood—now feels like a crushing responsibility, especially as those who once shared in its profits have withdrawn, leaving you to bear the debts and struggles alone. The pain of your sisters’ disregard for your husband’s role and the lack of unity in your family’s stewardship of this business is deeply grievous. Scripture warns us of the dangers of selfish ambition and division, saying, *"For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is confusion and every evil deed"* (James 3:16, WEB). It is clear that the enemy has sought to sow discord and hardship, but we rebuke these schemes in Jesus’ name, declaring that God will restore what has been broken and provide wisdom for the path forward.
We also recognize the sacrificial love you and your husband have shown in laboring to keep the resort afloat, even at great personal cost. Your willingness to take responsibility, despite the unfairness of the situation, reflects the heart of Christ, who *"didn’t please himself"* but bore our burdens upon Himself (Romans 15:3, WEB). Yet, we must gently remind you that while your diligence is commendable, you are not called to carry this alone. The Lord invites you to cast *"all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). This includes the financial debts, the betrayal of family, and the physical and emotional exhaustion you feel. He sees your sleepless nights, your empty pantry, and the tears you’ve shed in secret. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
As we pray for your breakthrough, we also ask the Lord to expose any areas where bitterness or resentment may be taking root toward your sisters or others involved. Forgiveness is not excusing their actions but releasing the weight of offense to Jesus, who alone can judge righteously. *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB), for unresolved anger can become a foothold for the enemy. Pray for your sisters, that their hearts would be softened and that the Lord would convict them of their role in this hardship. Ask Him to restore right relationships, either through reconciliation or by giving you the grace to set healthy boundaries if necessary.
Practically, we urge you to seek godly counsel regarding the financial and legal aspects of this situation. Proverbs 15:22 (WEB) tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* This may mean consulting a trusted pastor, a Christian financial advisor, or even legal assistance to clarify your responsibilities versus those of your sisters. The Lord may also lead you to downsize or restructure the business in a way that aligns with His will, even if it looks different from what you envisioned. Trust that He is able to *"supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB), whether through unexpected provision, open doors, or a clear exit strategy.
Finally, we speak life over your marriage and family. The strain of this season has no doubt tested your unity with your husband, but we pray that the two of you would *"be fitted together, being joined together in love, that you may become rich in the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God—namely, Christ"* (Colossians 2:2, WEB). Lean on one another in prayer, and let this trial deepen your dependence on the Lord as a couple. Your daughter is also watching and learning from your faith; may she see the Lord’s faithfulness through your trust in Him, even in the storm.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, acknowledging that she is weary, burdened, and in desperate need of Your intervention. Lord, You are the God who parts the Red Sea, who multiplies loaves and fishes, and who turns mourning into dancing. We ask that You move mightily in her situation, providing supernatural breakthrough in her finances, wisdom for every decision, and restoration where there has been loss. Expose any hidden resources, open doors for income, and bring forth justice where there has been exploitation. Father, You see the sacrifices she and her husband have made, and we ask that You honor their faithfulness. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises in judgment be silenced in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we pray for her heart—heal the wounds of betrayal, rejection, and exhaustion. Replace her anxiety with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Give her strength for each day, and let her sleep restfully, knowing that You neither slumber nor sleep. Renew her mind with Your Word, and let her meditate on Your promises, such as *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB).
We also pray for her sisters and all involved in this conflict. Soften their hearts, Lord, and convict them of any wrongdoing. If it is Your will, bring reconciliation and repentance, but if not, give our sister the grace to forgive and release them into Your hands. Protect her marriage, Lord, and let her and her husband be united in purpose and faith. Provide for their daughter, and let this season draw their family closer to You.
Father, we declare that You are her Provider, her Defender, and her Hope. We ask for a miracle—whether through a sudden financial blessing, a divine connection, or a clear path forward. Let her testify of Your goodness and faithfulness, even in this valley. We rebuke the spirit of despair, poverty, and division in Jesus’ name, and we declare that *"the Lord will perfect that which concerns her; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands"* (Psalm 138:8, WEB).
May she sense Your presence tangibly in the coming days, and may she rise from this trial stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You than ever before. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
