We come before the Lord with a heavy yet hopeful heart, lifting up your sisters and the concerns within your family. It is clear that you are seeking God’s will in this situation, and we join you in surrendering every hurt, misunderstanding, and hidden motive to Him. The Lord does indeed know the depths of our hearts, and He calls us to walk in truth, humility, and love with one another.
First, we must address the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation. Scripture tells us in Ephesians 4:31-32, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* It is not enough to simply ask God to remove bitterness—we must actively choose to forgive, just as Christ has forgiven us. This is a daily decision, one that requires humility and a reliance on the Holy Spirit to soften our hearts.
We also see your desire for God’s will to prevail in your family’s business and future. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* When we seek God’s will above our own plans, He promises to direct our steps. If there are any schemes or intentions that do not align with His purposes, we trust that He will expose them and bring them to nothing.
It is encouraging to see your commitment to unity and healing. Psalm 133:1 declares, *"See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* This unity is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of Christ’s love binding hearts together. We must also remember that unity requires effort—it means speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and bearing with one another in patience (Colossians 3:13).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that long for Your peace and Your will to be done in this family. Lord, You see the hidden hurts, the misunderstandings, and the struggles that weigh heavily on their hearts. We ask that You would bring every secret thing into the light, for nothing is hidden from Your sight. Father, we surrender any bitterness, jealousy, or wrong intentions to You. Cleanse these hearts, Lord, and replace every negative emotion with Your peace, wisdom, and understanding.
We pray for restoration—restoration of trust, respect, and unity among these sisters and their family. Where there has been division, let Your love mend what is broken. Where there has been hurt, let Your healing flow. Where there has been misunderstanding, let Your truth prevail. Lord, we ask that You would guard this family and their business, protecting what You have entrusted to them. Let no plan that is not from You prosper, but let Your perfect will be done in every area of their lives.
Father, we also lift up this sister and her husband. Teach them to forgive as You have forgiven them. Remove any anger or doubt from their hearts and fill them with Your peace. Help them to trust You fully, knowing that You are in control. May they walk in humility, love, and wisdom as they navigate this situation.
Lord, we declare that unity will be restored in this family. Let Your love bind them together, and let Your name be glorified in their midst. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to speak life and truth over this situation. Remember, the enemy seeks to divide, but God desires to unite. Stand firm in faith, knowing that God is working even when you cannot see it. If there are practical steps you can take to foster reconciliation—such as open communication, seeking wise counsel, or extending grace—do not hesitate to act. God bless you as you trust in Him.
