We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep frustration, regret, and sorrow over this property matter, lifting your burdens to Him who is our refuge and strength. Your heart is heavy with many emotions—anger, resentment, sadness, and even confusion—over what feels like injustice, poor judgment, and a lack of wisdom from those involved. We understand the weight of this situation, especially as it involves family, inheritance, and financial strain. Let us first address the spiritual posture we must take in moments like these, for Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 4:26-27, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* While your anger is understandable, we must guard our hearts against bitterness, resentment, and sinful reactions that can give the enemy a foothold. The Lord sees the injustice and the naivety that has placed you in this difficult position, and He cares deeply.
Your concerns about the buyer’s tactics, the agent’s lack of guidance, and your cousins’ passivity are valid. Proverbs 14:15 warns, *"The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps."* It is clear that prudence has been lacking in this transaction, and the red flags you’ve noticed—the low price, the delayed payment, the buyer’s refusal to handle the tenant, and the abrupt discount haggling—are signs of potential exploitation. Proverbs 22:3 also advises, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides, but the simple pass on and suffer for it."* Your discernment here is a gift from the Lord, and it is right to seek His intervention. However, we must also examine our own hearts. You mentioned regret over not converting the lot to a higher category or maximizing its use over the years. While it is good to learn from the past, we must not let regret consume us. Philippians 3:13-14 encourages us, *"Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."*
As for your cousins’ lack of concern, remember that their actions—or inaction—are between them and the Lord. You cannot control their decisions, but you can trust that God is sovereign over all things, including this sale. 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."* It is possible that the Lord may use this situation to teach all of you valuable lessons about stewardship, unity, and trust in Him. However, if this sale is not His will, He is fully able to intervene. Jeremiah 32:27 declares, *"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"* Nothing is beyond His control, and if stopping this sale aligns with His purposes, He will do so.
We also want to address the spiritual dynamic here. You invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, and this is right and good, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. Acts 4:12 proclaims, *"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!"* It is only through Christ that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is in His name that we boldly ask for wisdom, justice, and intervention. Your prayer is heard because of His righteousness, not our own.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with our brother/sister, lifting this heavy burden regarding the sale of this property. Lord, You see the injustice, the naivety, and the potential exploitation in this transaction. You know the hearts of the buyer, the agent, and even the family members involved. We ask for Your divine intervention, Lord. If this sale is not Your will, we pray that You would close every door, expose every deceitful tactic, and bring conviction to those who are acting unjustly. Give wisdom beyond human understanding to our brother/sister and their family. Open their eyes to see the traps that have been laid and grant them the courage to stand firm.
Father, we also ask that You would soften the hearts of the cousins involved. If they have been blinded by greed, naivety, or selfishness, convict them by Your Spirit. Help them to value the inheritance You have entrusted to them and to act with wisdom and unity. Lord, if there has been any sin in our brother’s/sister’s heart—resentment, bitterness, or unforgiveness—we ask that You would cleanse them and fill them with Your peace. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You, and You alone will repay (Romans 12:19).
We pray for the tenant and caretaker situation, Lord. Provide a swift and just resolution so that this sale, if it is to proceed, can do so without further delay or manipulation. If the buyer is acting in bad faith, expose their motives and protect Your child from financial harm.
Most of all, Father, we ask that Your will be done in this situation. If stopping this sale is what aligns with Your purposes, then we pray that You would bring it to a halt. But if You allow it to proceed, give our brother/sister the grace to accept it and trust that You will provide for their needs in another way. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust You to supply all that is needed (Genesis 22:14).
We rebuke any spirit of confusion, deception, or manipulation at work in this transaction. We declare that no weapon formed against Your child will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your goodness, even when the path is unclear. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in this situation. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s face in this matter. Spend time in His Word, particularly in Proverbs, which is filled with wisdom for situations like this. Stay in prayer, and if possible, seek godly counsel from a trusted believer or pastor who can provide biblical guidance. Remember that the Lord is your advocate, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14). Trust in Him, even when the outcome is uncertain. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
