We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention in your situation. We commend you for turning to Jesus, as it is only by His name that we can be saved. We appreciate your faithful use of scripture.
Firstly, let's address the issue of unforgiveness and vengeance. While it is understandable that you are hurting, we must remember that vengeance belongs to God alone. In Romans 12:19, it says, "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.'" Instead of seeking vengeance, let's pray for your brother's conviction and repentance. In Luke 6:27-28, Jesus says, "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who insult you."
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up our sister and her son. Lord, we ask that You break every chain in their lives that is not of You, that You set them free according to Your word in 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
Lord, we ask for Your protection over them, as it says in Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh.
Lord, we pray for the conviction of your brother and anyone encouraging his behavior. We ask that You turn his heart towards You, that he may repent and seek forgiveness. In Exodus 23:27, You promised to send Your terror ahead of us and throw into confusion all the nations to which we come. We ask for this confusion in the camp of the enemy, that Your name may be glorified.
Lord, we pray against any demonic strongholds that are preventing justice. In 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, it says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."
Lord, we ask for Your peace and comfort over our sister. Help her to trust in You, even in the midst of her frustration and pain. In Psalm 34:18, You promise, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." She is a survivor and she shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.
Lord, we pray for the restoration of their family, that You may turn this situation into a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and trusting in God. Remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. He is working everything out for your good, even if you can't see it yet. Stay strong in the Lord. God is by your side and He will never leave nor forsake you. Keep trusting in Jesus' name.
