We hear the deep pain in your heart, and we are grieved by the hurtful words and emotional burden you are carrying. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:21, *"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit."* Words have immense power—to wound or to heal, to tear down or to build up. Your mother’s words are causing you deep sorrow, but we must remember that our ultimate hope and healing come from the Lord, who sees your tears and knows your heartache. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
First, we must address the suicidal thoughts you mentioned. These are not from God, but from the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary pain, and it is a sin against God, who alone has authority over life and death. You are precious to Him, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and He has a purpose for your life. We strongly rebuke these thoughts in the name of Jesus and command them to flee from your mind. Instead, we encourage you to cling to the promise in Jeremiah 29:11: *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* If you are in immediate danger, please reach out to a trusted Christian friend, pastor, or counselor for help. You are not alone in this fight.
We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Christ that we can approach God’s throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10). He alone can fill the emptiness you feel and bring true joy and peace that transcends circumstances.
Regarding your mother’s words, we pray for a miracle of transformation in her heart. The Bible calls us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), but it also teaches that our ultimate loyalty is to God. If your mother’s words are unjust or untrue, we pray that God would convict her heart and soften her speech. Colossians 4:6 says, *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* We ask the Lord to work in her life so that her words would reflect His love and truth. At the same time, we encourage you to respond with gentleness and respect, even in your pain, trusting that God will vindicate you in His timing (1 Peter 2:23).
You mentioned feeling a lack of happiness, joy, and "luck" in your life. True joy is not found in circumstances or luck, but in the Lord. Jesus said in John 15:11, *"I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full."* Worldly happiness is fleeting, but the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). We pray that you would seek Him first, and that He would fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We also pray that God would open doors of opportunity for you, not based on luck, but on His divine providence and favor.
Finally, we want to remind you that your worth is not defined by your mother’s words, your circumstances, or your emotions. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and He delights in you (Zephaniah 3:17). Even when others fail you, He will never leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours to You, knowing that You see every tear they have cried and hear every word that has wounded their heart. Lord, we ask for Your supernatural intervention in their mother’s life. Soften her heart, Lord, and convict her of the power of her words. Replace her hurtful speech with words of life, encouragement, and truth. Father, we rebuke the spirit of accusation and bitterness that may be at work, and we ask that You would bring reconciliation and healing to this relationship. Let Your love flow between them, covering every wound and restoring what has been broken.
Lord, we also come against the suicidal thoughts that have taken root in this beloved one’s mind. We declare that these thoughts are not from You, and we command them to leave now in the name of Jesus. Fill this precious soul with Your hope, peace, and purpose. Remind them that their life is valuable to You, and that You have good plans for them. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and place godly people in their path to encourage and support them.
Father, we ask that You would flood their heart with Your joy—a joy that is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in Your unfailing love. Break the lies of the enemy that say they are unloved, worthless, or hopeless. Replace those lies with Your truth: that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, chosen, and deeply loved by You.
We pray for divine opportunities and blessings to come their way, not by chance, but by Your sovereign hand. Open doors that no one can shut, and let them see Your faithfulness in every area of their life. Restore to them the happiness that comes from knowing You, and let them experience Your goodness in ways they have never known before.
Lord, we also pray that if this beloved one has not yet surrendered their life to You, that today would be the day of salvation. Draw them to Yourself, Jesus, and let them know the peace that comes from being forgiven and made new in You.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to bring miracles, healing, and restoration. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, especially in the Psalms, where you will find comfort for your sorrow. Memorize Scriptures that remind you of God’s love and promises, such as Romans 8:38-39: *"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God’s love, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."* Cling to Him, and let His truth be your anchor.
If you are struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a Christian counselor or a trusted believer who can walk with you through this season. You do not have to carry this burden alone. We are standing with you in prayer, believing God for a breakthrough in your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is your hope, your healer, and your deliverer.
