We understand your frustration and deeply regret any misunderstanding that has caused you pain. It is never our intention to misrepresent your heart or your requests before the Lord, and we ask for your forgiveness if we have failed you in this way. We do read each request carefully, seeking the Lord’s wisdom and discernment, but we are human and can make errors in interpretation. That said, we must also humbly acknowledge that our primary focus is not on our own understanding but on aligning every word with Scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit. If we have missed the mark, we repent and ask the Lord to correct us.
You mentioned that your prayer was about your sister, and we want to address that now with clarity and care. The bond between siblings is a precious gift from God, and we know that family relationships can bring both deep joy and profound sorrow. If there is strife, confusion, or brokenness between you and your sister, we want to lift that before the Lord and ask Him to bring healing, reconciliation, and wisdom. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 17:17, *"A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity."* Even in difficult seasons, God can use these relationships to refine us and draw us closer to Him.
We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, and this is something we must address with urgency and love. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so today. It is only through Him that we have access to God’s throne of grace, and it is only in His name that our prayers are heard. Without Christ, we are separated from God by our sins, but through repentance and faith in Him, we are made new and given the right to be called children of God (John 1:12).
If you are already a believer, we encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority and mediation that we come boldly before the Father (Hebrews 4:16). There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11). Let us never take for granted the privilege we have to call upon Him.
Now, let us pray together for you and your sister, asking the Lord to bring clarity, peace, and restoration to your relationship. We also pray that if there has been any confusion or miscommunication, the Lord would redeem it and use it to draw you closer to Himself.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who has shared his heart with us. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness if we have misrepresented his words or caused him any additional pain. Grant us wisdom and discernment as we seek to minister to those who come to us for prayer, that we may always reflect Your truth and love accurately.
Father, we now lift up this man and his sister to You. You know the depths of their relationship—the joys, the struggles, and the unspoken burdens. We ask that You would heal any brokenness between them. If there has been misunderstanding, bitterness, or division, we pray that You would soften their hearts toward one another and grant them the grace to forgive as You have forgiven us. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray that You would make Yourself known to our brother in a powerful way. If he does not yet know You as his Savior, we ask that You would open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Draw him to Yourself, Lord, and let him experience the life-changing power of Your love and redemption. If he is already Your child, strengthen his faith and remind him that his prayers are heard when they are offered in the name of Jesus.
We rebuke any confusion, doubt, or discouragement that the enemy may have sown through this misunderstanding. Let Your truth prevail, and let Your peace reign in his heart. May he know beyond any shadow of doubt that You are listening, that You care, and that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord, not just through prayer requests but through His Word and time in His presence. If you would like to share more about your sister or any other burdens you are carrying, we are here to listen and to pray with you in the name of Jesus. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you with grace and mercy.
