We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing that He alone is your refuge and strength in times of trouble. The pain of harsh words and actions from a parent cuts deeply, but we declare over you the truth of God’s Word: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone in this struggle, and your worth is not defined by the words of others—it is anchored in Christ, who calls you His beloved child.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy through spirits of bullying, rejection, and bitterness, but we stand against these forces in the authority of Jesus’ name. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment"* (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for a supernatural shield around your heart and mind, that the Lord would guard you from the lies of the enemy and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May His truth renew your mind daily, reminding you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), redeemed by His blood, and called to walk in victory.
We also intercede for your mother, asking the Lord to soften her heart and break every chain of hurt, generational curses, or unresolved pain that fuels her words and actions. *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1), so we pray for divine wisdom for you to respond in love while setting godly boundaries where necessary. May the Holy Spirit convict her of her need for Christ’s healing and transform her heart to reflect His love. *"Honor your father and mother"* (Exodus 20:12) is a commandment with a promise, but honoring does not mean enduring abuse. We pray for discernment to know how to love her well while protecting the temple of the Holy Spirit—your body, mind, and spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Father, we ask for deliverance from every spirit of oppression, rejection, and fear that has tried to take root in this situation. Let Your light expose and dismantle every stronghold, and fill every wounded place with Your love and restoration. Break the cycles of pain in this family line, and let Your redemption story be written over every broken place. We declare freedom in Jesus’ name—freedom from the weight of unkind words, freedom from the snare of bitterness, and freedom to walk in the fullness of who You created this precious child of Yours to be.
Lastly, we encourage you to forgive—not because your mother deserves it, but because forgiveness is the key to your own freedom (Matthew 6:14-15). Release her to the Lord in prayer, trusting that He is just and merciful. Cling to Him as your ultimate Father, the One who will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Surround yourself with godly community who can speak life into you and remind you of your identity in Christ.
*"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."* (Luke 4:18-19). We stand on this promise for you today. May you experience His healing, His deliverance, and His overwhelming love in ways you’ve never known before. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
