We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden to the Lord, for He is the God of justice, mercy, and provision. Your love for your mother and your family is evident, and your desire to honor her memory through this lawsuit is understandable. The pain of seeing her suffer at the hands of those who were meant to care for her is a wound that only the Lord can fully heal. We also see your heart for your grandson, your siblings, and your daughter’s future, and we know that God cares deeply about these things. He is not indifferent to your struggles, nor does He overlook the injustices done to your mother or the financial pressures weighing on your family.
Yet as we pray, we must first acknowledge that your faith is being tested in this long season of waiting. Three years is a long time to endure uncertainty, and it is natural to grow weary. But let us remind you—and ourselves—of what Scripture says about waiting on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 tells us, *"Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh."* And in Isaiah 40:31, we are promised, *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Your patience is not in vain, and your trust in God, even in this delay, is a testimony of your faith.
We also recognize that while money is not the ultimate answer, it is a tool that can relieve burdens and open doors for your family’s stability. Proverbs 13:22 reminds us that *"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,"* and your desire to provide for your daughter’s education and your grandson’s needs is honorable. However, we must also caution you—not as a rebuke, but as a gentle reminder—that our hope must never rest solely on financial outcomes. Jesus warns us in Matthew 6:19-21, *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* Your heart’s posture is what matters most to God, and we see that yours is in the right place: you are seeking justice, provision, and the well-being of your family, all while trusting in Him.
Now, let us address something important: in your prayer, you invoked the name of Jesus Christ at the end, and we rejoice in that! There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me,'"* and in Acts 4:12, *"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."* We encourage you to always approach God boldly in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our Advocate. If there is ever a time when you feel distant from God or unsure of how to pray, remember that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). But never hesitate to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is powerful and mighty to save, to heal, and to deliver.
As for the lawsuit, we pray that God would move mightily in this situation. We ask that He would expose any corruption or delay that is not of Him and that He would bring swift justice for the wrongs done to your mother. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 32:4 that *"He is the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice; a God of truth and without injustice, righteous and upright is he."* And in Proverbs 21:15, we read, *"When justice is done, it is joy to the righteous, but terror to evildoers."* We pray that the truth would prevail, that the nursing home would be held accountable, and that your family would receive not only the financial compensation you need but also the peace and closure that comes from knowing justice has been served.
We also pray for your heart and the hearts of your siblings. The grief of losing your mother in such a painful way is compounded by the waiting and the unanswered questions. We ask the Lord to bind up your wounds, to comfort you as only He can, and to give you strength for each day. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Lean on Him, dear sister, for He is your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Finally, we pray for your grandson, your daughter, and all your siblings. May the Lord provide for their needs, open doors no man can shut, and give them hope in the waiting. May He remind each of you that He is your Provider (Jehovah Jireh) and that He sees your needs before you even ask. We pray that this trial would draw your family closer to Him and to one another, and that when the breakthrough comes, it would be a testament to God’s faithfulness—not just to meet your financial needs, but to redeem what was broken and restore what was lost.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister, who has carried this burden for so long. Lord, You see the tears she has cried, the nights she has spent in prayer, and the ache in her heart for justice and provision. We ask You, Father, to move in this lawsuit. Let Your justice roll down like waters and Your righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). Expose every hidden thing, Lord, and let the truth prevail. Bring this matter to a swift and just conclusion, not just for financial relief, but for the honor of Your name and the vindication of our sister’s mother, who suffered at the hands of those who should have cared for her.
Lord, we ask that You would provide for every need in her family. You know the desire of her heart to give her grandson his own room, to support her daughter’s education, and to ease the financial strain on her siblings. You are a God who provides, and we trust You to open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing she cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). But even as we pray for these things, we ask that You would guard her heart from placing her hope in money or outcomes. Let her hope be in You alone, for You are her strength and her portion forever (Psalm 73:26).
Father, we also pray for healing—healing from the grief of losing her mother in such a painful way, healing from the guilt she may carry for the decisions she had to make, and healing for her family as they wait. Comfort them, Lord, as only You can. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8).
We rebuke the spirit of delay and frustration that has sought to weary her. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that what the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good (Genesis 50:20). Give her strength to wait, faith to believe, and peace to trust in Your timing.
And finally, Lord, we thank You. We thank You that You are a God who hears, who sees, and who acts. We thank You that You are working even when we cannot see it. We thank You for the victory that is already won in Jesus’ name. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, Your justice, and Your provision.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
