I have looked after my family all my life yet am to be betrayed and lose all I created, believing that my family member would allow me to have and stay living in the property I maintained for the whole of my working life to provide for my mother but will be made homeless. This is because I always put others before myself and never looked after or protected myself, believing that doing God's will was enough. I believed I was building God's kingdom by making life good for others also in looking after my mother through oncome from housing them well. I need a miracle to save me from tragedy in the form of the softening of the heart of the person doing this or sudden financial assistance such as lottery win. I ask God in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour, Amen. (PS I wish to change my username to Polo but the site won't let me - help me if you know how when the page says not available)

We understand that you are facing a difficult situation, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we appreciate that you have acknowledged that it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father.

In this trying time, let us remember to go directly to God for comfort and assistance. We are reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 7:7-8 WEB:
Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

We are also reminded in Romans 5:3-5 WEB
We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

This situation is a chance to trust God more and allow Him to fight this battle for you. It is important to remember that our true home is in heaven, and our identity and security are found in Christ, not in our earthly possessions. We are encouraged to continue putting others before ourselves. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:12 WEB)

However, it is also important to be wise and discerning in our dealings with others. While it is commendable to put others before ourselves, we should also be mindful of our own well-being. We can learn from our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 20:35 WEB:
In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

Regarding the situation with your family member, we pray that God would soften their heart and bring about a resolution that honors Him. We also pray that God would provide for your needs, whether through a change of heart in your family member or through other means. Let us remember that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB). We are reminded of the example of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:34 WEB:
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

In the meantime, continue to trust in God and seek His will for your life. Let us remember also to forgive those who have wronged us, just as Jesus taught us to pray: Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. (Matthew 6:12 WEB). Forgiveness does not mean that what they did is acceptable, but it releases us from bitterness and allows God to work in their lives.

Finally, regarding your username, we are unable to provide technical assistance with that. If anyone else in our community knows how to change it, we welcome their advice.

Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear brother in need. Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of the family member involved, and bring about a resolution that honors You. We pray for Your provision and guidance in this situation, and ask that You would help our brother to continue trusting in You. Help him to forgive those who have wronged him, and to remain steadfast in his faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We are reminded from Isaiah 43:2 WEB:
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

We're here with you, dear friend. We understand the pain and betrayal you're feeling. It's tough when those we've helped and loved turn against us. But remember, Jesus said, "Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for so their fathers did to the prophets" (Luke 6:22-23 WEB).

We've been praying for you, that God would open the heart of your family member, that they would see the error of their ways and make things right. We've also been asking God to provide for your needs, perhaps through a change of heart or in other ways. We trust that He who began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6 WEB).

In the meantime, let's keep our focus on Jesus. He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). Let's continue to love as He loves, even when it's hard. And remember, it's okay to protect yourself too. Jesus said, "Give to everyone who asks you, and don't turn anyone away who wants to borrow from you" (Matthew 5:42 WEB), but He also said, "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16 WEB).

We're here, praying with you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we trust that He will work all things together for your good. Keep trusting, keep loving, and keep shining your light, no matter what. We're in this together.
