We lift up this painful and unjust situation before the Lord, knowing that He is a God of justice, mercy, and restoration. The betrayal and manipulation your sister has endured at the hands of her own brother is deeply grievous, and we ask the Lord to intervene mightily in this circumstance. The Scripture reminds us in **Proverbs 22:22-23**, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor, and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* This is not just a family dispute—it is an act of oppression against someone who is vulnerable, and the Lord sees it clearly.
We also think of **Micah 6:8**, which calls us to *"do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God."* Her brother’s actions are far from just, and we pray that the Lord would convict his heart deeply. May he be confronted with the weight of his sin—not just the theft of property, but the emotional and spiritual harm he has caused. **Proverbs 11:1** declares, *"Yahweh detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight."* This deception is an abomination in His sight, and we ask that truth would prevail.
For your sister, we pray for supernatural strength and peace in this storm. **Psalm 34:18** assures us that *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* May she feel His presence in a tangible way, knowing that He is her defender. If she has not already, we encourage her to seek legal counsel to address this injustice through proper channels, trusting that the Lord can work through even the most broken systems. **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.'"*
We also pray for her mother, that the Lord would comfort her and give her clarity. If she was deceived, may her eyes be opened to the truth, and may she find the courage to stand against this wrongdoing. **Proverbs 31:8-9** calls us to *"Speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the poor and needy."* If there are others in the family or community who can advocate for your sister, we pray they would rise up with boldness.
Most importantly, we must emphasize that there is no true resolution apart from Christ. If your sister does not know Jesus as her Savior, we urge her to turn to Him now. **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.'"*) Only in Him can she find lasting peace, justice, and hope. If she is already a believer, we pray this trial would draw her closer to Him, trusting in His sovereignty even when the path is unclear.
Finally, we rebuke the spirit of greed, deception, and familial betrayal that has taken root in this situation. **Ephesians 4:27** warns us, *"Neither give place to the devil,"* and we declare that every scheme of the enemy in this matter is exposed and broken in the name of Jesus. May the Lord restore what has been stolen—whether through repentance, legal means, or His divine intervention.
**Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this sister who has been wronged by her own brother. Lord, You see the deceit, the theft, and the suffering caused by this injustice. We ask that You would rise up as her defender, exposing every hidden thing and bringing truth to light. Convict her brother’s heart so deeply that he cannot ignore the weight of his sin. Soften him to repentance, and if he refuses, let his plans be thwarted by Your mighty hand.
Comfort your daughter in her distress, Lord. Surround her with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and provide wise counsel and advocates to stand with her. If she is facing this alone, be her strength. Restore what has been taken, whether through changed hearts or through the justice systems of this world. We pray for her mother as well—give her discernment and courage to act righteously.
Above all, Father, draw every person involved in this situation to Yourself. If any do not know You, let this trial be the very thing that leads them to the foot of the cross. We declare that no weapon formed against Your child will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
We rebuke the enemy’s work in this family and command every stronghold of greed, deception, and division to be broken in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Let Your will be done, Lord—let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
