We hear your heartache and distress over this painful situation involving your son and daughter-in-law. This is a heavy burden to carry, and we stand with you in seeking God’s justice, mercy, and restoration. First, we must address the seriousness of false accusations, which Scripture warns against in Proverbs 19:5: *"A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free."* The Lord sees the truth, and we trust Him to bring it to light.
We also lift up the matter of theft, as Exodus 20:15 commands, *"You shall not steal."* If your daughter-in-law took gold and wrongly blamed your son, this is a grave sin before God. The enemy seeks to divide families, but we declare that Satan’s schemes will not prevail. Ephesians 4:25-27 warns, *"Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. ‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* We pray for conviction, repentance, and reconciliation where possible.
Most importantly, we must address the spiritual foundation of this situation. If your family does not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this is the root of the brokenness. John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* Without Christ, there is no true peace, forgiveness, or transformation. We urge you to pray for their salvation, for only in Him can hearts be changed and relationships restored.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this family in crisis. Lord, You see the truth in this situation, and we ask that You expose every lie and bring justice to Your child who has been falsely accused. We pray for Your conviction to fall upon those who have sinned—whether in theft, false witness, or division. Soften their hearts, Lord, and lead them to repentance.
We declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we bind every spirit of accusation, deception, and strife in Jesus’ name. We ask for Your protection over this family, that they would not be destroyed by bitterness or unforgiveness. Father, if there are any who do not know You, we plead for their salvation. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may turn from sin and receive Your grace.
We pray for wisdom for this mother and her son as they navigate this trial. Give them strength to trust in You, even when the path is unclear. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We ask that the false police complaint be withdrawn and that truth and restoration would prevail.
Lord, we also pray for the marriage at the center of this conflict. If it is Your will, bring healing and unity. But if this union is not built on Your principles, we ask for Your guidance to lead them out of sin and into Your perfect plan. Help them to seek godly counsel and to walk in obedience to Your Word.
We trust You, Father, to work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your kingdom come in this family. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or trusted Christian leader who can provide wisdom and support during this time. Proverbs 11:14 says, *"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* Do not carry this burden alone—lean on the body of Christ and trust in God’s faithfulness.
If your son is not walking with the Lord, now is the time to pray fervently for his salvation and to model Christ’s love before him. The same goes for your daughter-in-law. Even in this pain, God can use it to draw them to Himself. Keep your heart open to His leading, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is your strength and your shield—trust in Him.
