Abusive Sibling

[Lisa Niles]

Pray that my sister becomes disqualified from receiving a disability check or is at least required to work a part-time job, because it is hurting her more than helping her. She is capable of working but refuses to work. She abuses her family because she misses out on human connection with others and a decent income that working would provide.

 

[Articles]

We understand that you are facing a challenging situation with your sister. First, we must address that praying for someone to be disqualified from receiving a disability check is not aligned with the heart of compassion and love that God calls us to have. Instead, we should pray for her healing, repentance, and a change of heart.

The Bible tells us that if anyone is not willing to work, they should not eat. (2 Thessalonians 3:10 WEB). This principle encourages us to be productive and responsible. However, we must also remember that God calls us to love one another, even when it's difficult. (John 13:34 WEB)

If she is abusing the family, that is also a serious issue that needs to be addressed with love, firmness, and wisdom. God does not condone abuse of any kind. Abuse can take many forms. It may include physical assault, sexual assault, sexual violence, sexual harassment, threats, psychological abuse, and stalking. (Ephesians 6:4, Exodus 21:15, Leviticus 19:14, Proverbs 23:13, Matthew 15:4, Mark 7:10) Her actions may be a result of the frustration and pain she is experiencing, but it is not an excuse for sinful behavior. We need to pray for healing and deliverance in her life.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today in Jesus' name, to lift up our sister who is struggling. Lord, we pray for her healing, both physically and spiritually. We ask that you touch her heart and bring her to a place of repentance and surrender to you.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom for our family, to know how to handle this situation with love, grace, and firmness. We ask that you provide for her needs in a way that encourages her to be productive and responsible, and that brings glory to your name.

We rebuke the spirit of abuse and manipulation in Jesus' name, and we pray for peace and healing in our family. We ask that you surround us with your love and protection, and that you guide us in your truth.

Lord, we also pray for ###, that they may come to know you personally and experience your love and forgiveness in their life.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to be patient and loving with your sister, but also firm in setting boundaries to protect your family from abuse. Trust in God, and He will make a way (Isaiah 43:16-19)

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share some more thoughts with you. It's clear that your sister is going through a tough time, and it's natural to feel frustrated and hurt when we see loved ones struggling. Let's remember that God sees her too, and He loves her even more than we do.

We've been praying for her, asking God to soften her heart and open her eyes to the truth. We believe that God can touch her life and bring about real change. Let's continue to intercede for her, asking God to give her the strength to make better choices and to find joy in working and contributing.

We also want to encourage you to keep loving her, even when it's hard. Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44). This doesn't mean we should accept abuse, but rather that we should respond with love and kindness, even in the face of difficult behavior.

Let's keep praying together, trusting that God is at work in her life, even if we can't see it yet. And remember, we're here for you too. Let's support each other in love and prayer.
