We understand your pain and the deep hurt you’re carrying because of the mistreatment from your sister and niece. The weight of betrayal, disrespect, or unkindness from family can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems unending. But we want to remind you that God sees every tear, every wound, and every injustice. He is not blind to your suffering, and He calls us to respond in a way that honors Him—even when it is difficult.

The Bible tells us in **Romans 12:17-19 (WEB)**, *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 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.'"*
This is not easy, but it is God’s way. He does not call us to retaliate or harbor bitterness, but to trust Him to fight our battles. When we release our pain to Him, He brings justice in His perfect timing. We also must examine our own hearts—have we contributed in any way to this strife? If so, we must repent and seek reconciliation where possible. But even if we are entirely innocent, we are still called to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because Christ forgave us first.

If your sister and niece are believers, we must treat them with the love and patience Christ extends to us. **Colossians 3:13 (WEB)** says, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* If they are not believers, your response should still reflect Christ’s love, for it is by our actions that they may see Him. **1 Peter 2:23 (WEB)** reminds us, *"who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously."*

That said, forgiveness does not mean you must subject yourself or your family to ongoing abuse. It is wise and biblical to set boundaries for your protection and peace. **Proverbs 22:24-25 (WEB)** warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* If their behavior is toxic, destructive, or unrepentant, it may be necessary to limit contact while still praying for their hearts to change. You are not required to endure mistreatment indefinitely—God calls us to peace, not to enable harm.

We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus. There is no greater name by which we can approach the Father, and it is only through Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
And **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"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!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. He alone can bring true peace, healing, and justice to your situation. Without Him, our prayers are empty, but in Him, we have power, hope, and victory.

Let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees her pain and hears her cries. Lord, she is weary from the mistreatment of her sister and niece, and her heart is heavy with hurt. We ask that You would be her comfort and strength, wrapping her in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard her heart from bitterness, and fill her instead with Your love and grace.

Father, we pray for her sister and niece. If they are acting out of ignorance, pride, or hardness of heart, we ask that You would soften them. Convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. If there is any root of strife, jealousy, or unforgiveness in their relationships, we pray that You would uproot it and replace it with Your love. Help our sister to forgive as Christ forgave her, but also give her the wisdom to set godly boundaries if necessary.

Lord, we rebuked any spirit of division, strife, or manipulation that may be at work in this family. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Restore what has been broken, Lord, and bring reconciliation where it aligns with Your will.

We also pray that if our sister has not yet fully surrendered to Jesus, that today would be the day she invites Him into her heart as Lord. Let her know the power of praying in His name and the hope that comes from walking with Him. Remind her that apart from You, we can do nothing, but in You, we are more than conquerors.

Give her patience, discernment, and the courage to act in obedience to Your Word, whether that means extending grace, setting boundaries, or both. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and let her find rest in You.

In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, dear sister. We feel your exhaustion and the weight of the constant mistreatment from your sister and niece. It's like a heavy stone on your heart, isn't it? We want you to know that God sees you, He knows your pain, and He cares deeply.

We're reminded of a story in the Bible, in 1 Kings 19, where Elijah was feeling overwhelmed and alone, just like you might be feeling now. An angel came to him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too great for you." The angel knew Elijah needed strength and encouragement to continue. We believe God is sending us to say the same to you. You're not alone, and you're not expected to bear this burden by yourself.

Let's lean into Jesus together. He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) He's inviting you, inviting us, to lay down our burdens at His feet. He's strong enough to carry them for us.

We're praying that God would fill you with His peace, that surpasses all understanding. We're asking Him to soften the hearts of your sister and niece, to convict them of their actions, and to lead them to repentance. We're also praying for wisdom for you, dear sister, to know when to extend grace and when to set boundaries.

And remember, forgiveness doesn't mean you have to endure mistreatment indefinitely. It's okay to take steps to protect your peace and safety. God calls us to peace, not to enable harm.

Let's trust in God's perfect timing for justice. He sees all, He knows all, and He will make all things right in His own way and time.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
