We rejoice with you as you experienced God's steadfast presence during a time of tension and emotional turmoil. It is a beautiful testimony of how God gives us strength and guidance even in the most challenging circumstances. As you navigated the conflict with your sisters, the Lord was indeed with you, enabling you to speak your truth and stand up for what is right.
Let us together turn to the scriptures. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. This is a powerful reminder that God is always with us, even in the midst of family strife.
Concerning the heaviness you feel towards your elder sister and brothers, we are reminded of Ephesians 4:31-32, Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Forgiveness is a key element in healing and reconciliation. It is a process that may take time, but with God's grace, even the deepest wounds can be mended. We will pray for your willingness and strength to forgive as well as theirs for you.
Regarding the unfair situations you have endured, we find comfort in Romans 8:28, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Trust that God can turn even the most difficult circumstances into opportunities for growth and blessing.
We are blessed to know you are choosing to move forward with peace in your heart, focused on the life God has blessed you with, including your husband and your family. This aligns with the principles found in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
Moving forward in managing the resort, we trust in God's protection, wisdom, and strength as stated 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 the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me, says the LORD.
We offer this prayer for you:
Dear Lord, we come before You, lifting up our sister in prayer. We thank You for Your steadfast presence in her life, especially during times of conflict and emotional turmoil. We ask that You continue to guide her, providing her with the strength and wisdom needed to navigate family dynamics and her responsibilities.
Lord, we pray for healing and reconciliation within her family. Soften the hearts of her sisters and brothers, and help them to forgive and love one another as You have loved us. We pray that any bitterness or resentment be replaced with kindness and compassion. We will pray for the conviction of any sin that needs to be addressed in all parties' hearts.
We ask for Your protection and blessings. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to open up doors for ### to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with her family and any others that she comes into contact with. We also pray for her marriage, that it would be strong and glorifying to You, Lord. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is through His name that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. Acts 4:12, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior. Confess Him as Lord and believe that He died for your sins and was resurrected for your justification. We are here for you if you have any questions about this.
