We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we find salvation, healing, and restoration. You have rightly acknowledged that our help comes from the Lord, and we stand in agreement with you, declaring that God is sovereign over every broken heart, every divided relationship, and every financial need in this family.
The disunity, betrayal, and anger tearing through this family are not of God, for Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that *"God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."* The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we rebuke every scheme of Satan in the name of Jesus Christ. The lies, accusations, and toxic words spoken over this family are broken by the power of the blood of Jesus. We declare that the Lord will expose every hidden motive, soften every hardened heart, and bring truth to light, for *"nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light"* (Luke 8:17).
To the one praying, we honor your commitment to forgiveness, for you have echoed the heart of Christ who said, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). This is the path of righteousness—choosing forgiveness daily, even when the wounds are fresh. But we must also speak truth in love: forgiveness does not mean enabling sinful behavior. Boundaries may be necessary to protect your heart and your household, especially as your spouse is not in unity with this family. Scripture warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* While we do not know the spiritual state of your spouse, we pray that God would either soften their heart toward your family or give you wisdom in how to navigate this division without bitterness.
Your mother’s suffering is deeply grieving to us. Suicidal thoughts and a toxic tongue are signs of a soul in desperate need of the Comforter. We plead the blood of Jesus over her mind, binding every spirit of despair and death, and we declare that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We pray she would be surrounded by godly counsel, that she would fix her eyes on Jesus rather than the chaos around her, and that she would find strength in the promise that *"no temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).
As for the financial burdens and the impossibility of reunion, we remind you that our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). He is not limited by distance, cost, or human stubbornness. We pray for divine provision—whether through unexpected resources, reconciled relationships that remove the need for travel, or supernatural peace in the waiting. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). Trust that He sees the longing for unity and will orchestrate it in His perfect timing.
Finally, we must address the grief over your father’s passing and the battles over authority and inheritance. These conflicts reveal a deeper spiritual issue: a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9). We pray that each family member would surrender their claims, their pride, and their anger to the Lord. Inheritance is temporary, but *"the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17). Let God be the judge of who is "right"—your role is to pursue peace, even if it means stepping back from the chaos.
Heavenly Father, we lift this family to You, knowing that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Lord, break the cycles of anger, rebellion, and selfishness. Soften hearts to repentance, and let Your Holy Spirit convict where there is sin. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Give them dreams and visions of unity, Lord—show them what *could* be if they surrender to You. Provide for their financial needs, protect them from further harm, and let Your mercy triumph over judgment (James 2:13).
For those who have turned away from You, Lord, draw them back. Let them see their need for a Savior and cry out to You, as You promised: *"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved"* (Acts 16:31). May this family encounter You in such a real way that they cannot help but fall on their knees in worship.
We declare that this family will not be destroyed but restored, not by their own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let them be a testimony of Your redemption, Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray—**Amen.**
