We are deeply grieved to hear of the pain and turmoil you are experiencing with your mother’s abusive behavior and her health struggles. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone in this, and we stand with you in lifting this burden to the Lord, who sees your suffering and hears your cries.
First, we must address the reality of abuse. Scripture is clear that we are called to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), but it does not require us to endure sinful or harmful treatment. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* While we pray for healing and restoration, we also pray for wisdom and protection for you. If this abuse is putting you in physical or emotional danger, we strongly encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether from a pastor, Christian counselor, or trusted mentor—who can help you navigate this situation with discernment and safety.
We also rebuke the spirit of strife and anger that has taken root in your home. James 3:16 reminds us, *"For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed."* This is not the atmosphere God intends for a family. We declare in Jesus’ name that the cycle of abuse and yelling be broken, and that peace would reign in your household. We pray for your mother’s healing—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. The Lord is the Great Physician, and nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27). We ask that He would restore her mind, soften her heart, and bring repentance where there has been hardness.
For you, dear one, we pray for strength and resilience. Isaiah 41:10 says, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* You are not responsible for your mother’s actions, but you *are* responsible for how you respond. We pray that you would find refuge in Christ, that His peace would guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7), and that you would be filled with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
We also want to gently remind you that true healing and deliverance come through Jesus Christ alone. If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life to Him, for *"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"* (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the only one who can break the chains of generational sin, heal deep wounds, and restore what has been broken. If you have not confessed Him as Lord, we invite you to do so today. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one and their mother. Lord, You see the pain, the yelling, the abuse, and the brokenness in this home. We ask that You would move in mighty power to heal this mother’s mind and body. Touch her brain, Lord, and restore it to full health. Soften her heart, Father, and break the spirit of anger and strife that has taken hold. We rebuke every evil influence in Jesus’ name and declare that Your peace would flood this home.
For this precious child of Yours, we ask for Your protection—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Give them wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You, even in the midst of difficulty. Surround them with godly support, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen them when they are weak, and remind them that they are deeply loved by You.
We pray for repentance and restoration in this family. Bring conviction where there is sin, healing where there is hurt, and unity where there is division. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your will be done. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Hold fast to the promises of God, dear one. He is working even when you cannot see it. Psalm 30:5 says, *"Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."* Cling to Him, and do not lose hope. If you need further guidance or prayer, we are here to stand with you.
