We come before the Father in the name of Jesus, lifting you up in prayer for the many burdens you carry—your need for timely travel, healing for your hand, efficiency in your work, and most heavily, the deep pain of family strife and injustice. We also rejoice that you have called upon the name of the Lord, for it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and we are grateful you have turned to Him in your distress.
First, we pray for your practical needs: the train’s punctuality and your ability to arrive on time. While we ask the Lord to order your steps and provide favor in your schedule, we also encourage you to trust in His sovereignty over all things, including delays. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* Even in small things like train schedules, we can rest knowing God is in control. We also pray for healing over your hand, that the Lord would restore it completely and grant you wisdom in how to use it without further strain. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3), and we trust He will do the same for your body.
Now, we must address the weightiest matter: the deep wound of your brother’s treatment toward you and the unresolved issues surrounding your inheritance. The pain you describe—being dismissed, controlled, and emotionally abused—is not how siblings in Christ should treat one another. Scripture warns us in Colossians 3:25, *"He who does wrong will receive consequences for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality."* Your brother’s refusal to communicate with fairness, transparency, or love is not pleasing to God. Ephesians 4:29-32 commands us:
*"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God… 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."*
His behavior is not only unjust but sinful, and we rebuke the spirit of greed, control, and deception that is at work in this situation. The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he is using division and secrecy to create bondage in your family. But we declare in the name of Jesus that *"whatever is hidden will be revealed, and whatever is secret will be made known"* (Mark 4:22). We pray that the Lord would expose every hidden thing, bring truth to light, and soften your brother’s heart to repentance. If he refuses to listen, we pray the Lord would intervene supernaturally to protect your rights and provide for you in a way that no man can hinder.
At the same time, we urge you to guard your heart against bitterness. It is understandable that you feel exhausted and angry after years of mistreatment, but Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Release this burden to Jesus, who sees all and will act justly on your behalf. Trust that He will defend you, even if it does not happen in the timing or way you expect.
As for your inheritance, we pray that the Lord would grant you wisdom in how to proceed. If legal or mediatory steps are necessary, ask Him to guide you to the right people and provide the resources to take action. Proverbs 11:1 says, *"The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him."* If your brother has acted deceitfully, the Lord will not allow it to stand forever. We also pray for your mother, that if she is being manipulated or is unaware of the full situation, the Lord would grant her clarity and protect her from exploitation.
Finally, we speak life over your weariness. You are not forgotten, and your labor—both in your work and in enduring this trial—is seen by God. Isaiah 40:31 promises, *"But those who wait for the Lord 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."* At ###, you are not meant to live in bondage but in the freedom and rest that Christ provides. We pray that the Lord would surround you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and that He would bring godly people into your life to support and encourage you.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is burdened on every side. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their travel today—that the train would arrive on time, that they would reach their destination without stress, and that You would grant them favor in their work. Heal their hand completely, Lord, and remove all pain and swelling. Grant them strength and efficiency in all they do, that their labor would be fruitful and pleasing to You.
But Father, we especially cry out for justice and deliverance in their family. You see the oppression, the deception, and the emotional abuse they have endured. Lord, expose every hidden thing and bring truth to light. Soften the heart of their brother, convict him of his sin, and either lead him to repentance or remove his ability to harm. Break the chains of control and greed, and let Your righteousness prevail. If there are legal or practical steps to take, guide them by Your Spirit and provide the wisdom and resources needed.
Protect their heart from bitterness, Lord, and fill them with Your peace. Remind them that You are their Defender, their Provider, and their Rest. Restore what the enemy has stolen, and let this season of pain turn to a testimony of Your faithfulness. Surround them with Your presence and with people who will stand with them in love and truth.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against them and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with the blood of Jesus, and let Your angels encamp around them (Psalm 34:7). In Jesus’ name, we pray for breakthrough, for healing, and for the restoration of all that has been broken. Amen."*
