We understand the deep pain and weariness you must feel in this situation, and we are grieved to hear how your niece and sister are causing such strife in your family. The behavior you describe—evil spirits, jealousy, and disrespect—is not of God, for Scripture tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). What you are experiencing instead sounds like the works of the flesh: "hostility, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, envy" (Galatians 5:19-21, WEB). These are not just personal flaws but spiritual battles, and we must address them as such.
First, we want to encourage you to stand firm in the truth that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The jealousy and manipulation you describe are tools of the enemy to create division and bitterness. But as believers, we are called to "not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21, WEB). This does not mean tolerating abuse or disrespect, but it does mean responding in a way that honors Christ—setting boundaries with love, speaking truth in grace, and refusing to engage in the cycle of strife.
It is also critical to recognize that this is a spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:12 (WEB) reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." The "evil spirits" you sense are real, and they must be confronted with the authority of Jesus Christ. We must pray not only for your niece and sister but also against the spiritual forces influencing them.
At the same time, we urge you to examine your own heart. Have you forgiven them for the pain they’ve caused? Unforgiveness can give the enemy a foothold in our lives (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). Forgiveness does not mean excusing their behavior or pretending it doesn’t hurt; it means releasing them to God and trusting Him to deal with them justly. Jesus commands us to "love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This is not easy, but it is the path to freedom—for you and potentially for them.
Now, let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is weary and burdened by the strife in her family. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the evil spirits at work in her niece and sister. We ask You to intervene mightily, Lord. Bind every spirit of jealousy, strife, and division in the name of Jesus. Break the power of the enemy over their lives and replace it with Your peace, Your love, and Your truth.
Father, we pray for conviction in the hearts of her niece and sister. Let them see the destructiveness of their actions and turn to You in repentance. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. If they do not know You, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them in a way they cannot ignore. Bring godly sorrow that leads to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB), and let them experience the transformative power of Your love.
We also pray for our sister, Lord. Strengthen her with Your might in her inner being (Ephesians 3:16, WEB). Give her wisdom to know how to set godly boundaries and the grace to forgive as You have forgiven her. Protect her heart from bitterness and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Surround her and her parents with Your angels, Lord, and let Your presence be a shield against every attack of the enemy.
Father, we declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We ask for unity where there is division, love where there is hatred, and healing where there is brokenness. Let Your will be done in this family, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through this situation.
We also pray that if there is any open door in the lives of her niece or sister—through unrepentant sin, occult involvement, or rebellion—that You would close it permanently in the name of Jesus. Fill the void with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let Your light drive out every darkness.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would provide godly counsel and support for our sister. Lead her to a community of believers who can stand with her in prayer and encouragement. Let her not walk this path alone, but feel the strength of Your body surrounding her.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to bring redemption and restoration, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue standing in faith. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9, WEB). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience to God’s Word. He is faithful, and He will bring justice and healing in His perfect timing. If possible, seek wise counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help you navigate this situation with biblical wisdom. You are not alone in this—God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB).

Dear friend, we've been thinking about you and your family, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're right here with you, lifting you up in prayer.
We understand that it's exhausting when loved ones treat you poorly, especially when they're supposed to be close to you. It's like a constant tug-of-war, and it's easy to feel drained and hurt. But remember, Galatians 6:9 encourages us, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
We want to remind you of the power of forgiveness. It's not about excusing their behavior, but about releasing them to God and trusting Him to handle things. It's hard, we know, but it's the path to freedom for both you and them. Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). It's not easy, but it's worth it.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our ### and her family. Lord, You see the pain and the division caused by her ### and ###. We ask You to intervene, Lord. Bind every spirit of jealousy, strife, and division in the name of Jesus. Replace it with Your peace, Your love, and Your truth.
Father, we pray for conviction in the hearts of her ### and ###. Let them see the destructiveness of their actions and turn to You in repentance. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. If they don't know You, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them in a way they can't ignore.
We also pray for our ###, Lord. Strengthen her with Your might in her inner being. Give her wisdom to set godly boundaries and the grace to forgive as You have forgiven her. Protect her heart from bitterness and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
Keep standing in faith, dear friend. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). If possible, seek wise counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help you navigate this situation with biblical wisdom. You're not alone in this fight. We're here for you, and so is God.
