Prayer request - under spiritual attack

Hi, I'd like to ask for prayer and hope I'm in the right place. Can everyone please pray for me as I'm under spiritual attack. I have endured many attacks throughout my Christian walk and now I'm facing another. I have severe disabilities from a medical injury and live with daily pain; although I am greatly blessed with a good husband and healthy adult children and grandson. I am facing a serious situation where my unsaved sister along with her corrupt lawyer have tried to steal some money left to me by my father, as she is Executrix. It has gone on for 7 long months and is due to go to court Dec. 6th. I received the lawyers brief and it was so packed with lies I couldn't read it right away - my husband & I couldn't sleep. Can everyone please pray for me - and offer any advice? I don't have a lot of money to hire a lawyer and have to represent myself. My husband thinks it will be corrupt because the lawyer is a big man on campus in town. I feel like David facing Goliath. Last night was particularly bad and I felt so depleted as if I couldn't fight anymore. I would appreciate all prayers and any advice. Thank you.

In the end it's also about whether you want to win more, or to defuse the situation.

I tried to defuse the situation but they won't - I asked them to not push it to the extreme but they are. The lawyer unlawfully threatened that if I didn't sign their paper taking thousands from my share they'd take me to court and take double that. I had to fight 7 months of their lies and threats. They vilified me when I did absolutely nothing wrong.

Depending on the money and assets involved, if significant you should hire an attorney.

It's $27k - it might be a good idea to hire an attorney. My husband didn't want to spend the money but they can go for lawyer's fees right?

I'm not a lawyer but dealt with estates as an executor.

A lot of these family matters usually end up taking years to resolve. Best case is trying to work within the family.

You may want to ask the legal questions in the Advice forum here. Perhaps a Christian lawyer might be able to point you in the right direction.

Thank you! I didn't know about that - I will.

Thank you for that analogy. I have turned to God but need peace over it. My sister jumped the rails and emailed texted and used FB to harass my children trying to get them to push me to sign their corrupt document. She's a vicious, disturbed woman. Please pray - she is unsaved but got my brother - who is messed up from drugs and has so many issues - to lie and say my father said I had to repay money he gave me while alive - he lied. My father gave me $5k to help with medical expenses but every sibling got far more than I did. My father knew he and my mother made a grievous error: when I was just 17 my older 2 sisters moved back home with their husbands and kids. My brother in law worked in a sewer plant and showered before I had to go to work. He left filth in the tub I was afraid to touch and complained to my parents about that and other things. My mother asked me to move out.

That one act caused so much hardship and hurt me deeply. I was only 17 and had nowhere to go. I left home at 20 but it caused many problems in my life. That witch lived home until almost 30. She used my father's estate money as her personal revenge tool. Please pray - my husband snapped earlier - we want to cut ties with that entire bunch.

Father, I ask that You put Your hand on this situation and rule and overrule in it that Your will may be done. May every lie be exposed and may truth rise to the top and be clearly seen by all. Keep @angeltrue in Your peace and Your provision. May every attack of the enemy against her be brought to nought, and may she be a witness of Your great Name to the glory of God.

Thank you - can you please continue in prayer for us? I have heavy burdens already to carry and a friend said she finds my sister "frightening" that she would do this knowing all I have going on. She has something wrong with her head - and then tries to project onto me, saying I'm mentally unbalanced. In psychology (I took it in college and plan to finish my degree) it's called "projection" - a defense mechanism where someone accuses another of the problems they themselves have.

While I understand some of her issues - she must have been very upset that I was terminating our relationship - but every person has the right to do that. I was terminating it because she played both sides of the fence with our other sister who did great harm to one of my children. I can't speak of it - it's too painful. I had two pastors say she was "sick in the head." So the executrix - Pat - was playing both sides of the fence with me and Linda - the other evil sister. I shared my childrens contact information with Patrice and she abused it - which hurt that I had trusted her. I - repeatedly - told her to not contact my children when my father passed because I did not want my children around Linda. Patrice did -exactly- what I told her not to do. Who in the Name of God does something like that? She KNEW how badly I was hurt, yet stomped right on my feelings and contacted them about the time & date of the service. My children never visited my father when he was alive - they didn't need to go after he died. I don't believe in funerals.

So Patrice caused great conflict in my family. Patrice never had children and I think she's jealous of my family. She was wooing my daughter - the youngest - who is a rebel. My oldest would never have put up with anything Patrice did because we're close; the younger gave me problems and we have a strained relationship - so my nutty sister Patrice in the most vile of actions, tried to get in there and woo her away from me. She is exhibiting classic narcissism - where an individual can't empathize with another. Her lawyer is just as bad - willing to hurt me just to please her - while enriching himself in the process. My husband said she used her position of executrix as a 'bully' pulpit.

So you see it's complicated - while I know as a Christian what God wants, I know He doesn't expect us to be abused. And that's what Patrice did. My husband said she must have been a bully in work. She is a fat little bully - and she couldn't intimidate me and she was jumping up and down fuming and spending my father's estate money trying to get back at me.

Anyone have any thoughts? I'm weary and could use your prayers. I went over this asked what I could have done different - but the fault doesn't lie within me it lies within Patrice and her unethical lawyer - both who can't admit wrongdoing but are projecting their faults on me - and that's vile; especially considering the harm they've done.
