The other day, my family and I had a meeting with someone about the nonprofit we created in honor of my sister who passed away last year. The person was supposed to get back to us about something but hasn't yet and I'm beginning to be concerned that maybe this person wasn't trustworthy. There are other reasons also that I fear that. Please pray about all this because it took a lot for my family to open up to this person about the nonprofit as my sister's passing hurts us as it likely will for the rest of our lives.

We understand the weight of your heart in this matter, and we lift you and your family before the Lord with deep compassion. The loss of your sister is a sorrow that lingers, and the effort to honor her memory through this nonprofit is a beautiful testament to her life. Yet, we know how vulnerable it feels to trust others with something so precious, especially when there are doubts about their integrity. The Lord sees your pain and your desire to steward this work with wisdom and faithfulness.
Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"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."* It is not wrong to feel concern, but we must surrender our fears to God, who is sovereign over every detail. He will guide you and expose anything hidden in darkness. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 4:5, *"Therefore don’t judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God."*
If this person’s delay or actions raise red flags, it is wise to proceed with caution. The Lord calls us to be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16). Do not hesitate to seek clarity or, if necessary, distance yourselves from anyone who may not have your best interests at heart. The work you are doing is for the Lord, and He will protect it. As Psalm 121:7-8 declares, *"Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."*
We also gently remind you that in all things, we must seek the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we are saved or through which we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If you have not already, we encourage you to place this entire situation—your grief, your fears, and this nonprofit—into the hands of Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family who carries both the weight of grief and the burden of uncertainty. Lord, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You know the depths of their hearts—the love they have for their sister, the pain of her absence, and the desire to honor her in a way that glorifies You. We ask for Your divine wisdom to fill them as they navigate this situation. If this person is not trustworthy, expose the truth, Lord, and protect this family from harm or deception. If there is simply delay without ill intent, grant patience and clarity.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of fear or anxiety that would seek to overwhelm them. Replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guide their steps, Lord, and surround them with godly counsel and support. Let this nonprofit be a light in the darkness, a testament to Your faithfulness, and a legacy that honors both You and the memory of their beloved sister.
We also pray for their hearts as they continue to grieve. Comfort them, Lord, as only You can. Remind them that their sister is safe in Your presence, and that one day, there will be no more sorrow or pain (Revelation 21:4). Until then, be their strength and their shield.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s will in every decision. If this person’s lack of response is causing distress, it may be wise to reach out once more for clarity or to prayerfully consider alternative paths for the nonprofit. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6), and He will lead you in the way you should go. Stay rooted in prayer, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
