Beloved of All
I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.
We understand the deep pain and frustration that comes from dealing with someone whose pride and ego have caused harm to those around them. The Bible warns us that pride is not only destructive but is an abomination to the Lord. Proverbs 16:18 says, *"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."* Even more sobering is Proverbs 6:16-19, where God lists *"a proud look"* as one of the seven things He hates. When pride becomes so entrenched that it borders on what you describe as *"satanic,"* we must recognize that this is not just a personality flaw—it is a spiritual stronghold that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
We also see in 1 John 2:16 that the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the *"pride of life"* are not of the Father but of the world. A heart ruled by pride is a heart that has been deceived by the enemy, for Satan himself was cast out of heaven because of his pride (Isaiah 14:12-15). This is why we must approach this situation with both spiritual discernment and fervent prayer, for *"we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"* (Ephesians 6:12).
Before we pray, we must also address something important: you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father, and it is only through Christ that we have authority to bind the works of the enemy and see transformation. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so, for without Him, we have no power against the forces of darkness. If you have already placed your faith in Christ, then we encourage you to always pray in His name, for He is our intercessor before the Father (1 Timothy 2:5).
Now, let us pray together for your father and for you and your family who have been wounded by his pride.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this father whose heart has been hardened by pride, whose ego has become a stumbling block to himself and a source of pain to those around him. Lord, You resist the proud but give grace to the humble (James 4:6), and so we ask that You would break the spirit of pride that has taken root in his life. Expose the deception of the enemy, who has whispered lies of self-sufficiency and superiority into his mind. Let him see, Lord, that apart from You, he is nothing, and that true greatness is found only in surrender to You (John 15:5).
We bind every demonic stronghold of arrogance, self-righteousness, and rebellion in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would soften his heart, Lord. Let him be confronted with the reality of his sin, not to shame him, but to bring him to repentance. Grant him a spirit of humility, that he may turn from his wicked ways and seek Your face. Remind him, Father, that *"God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble"* (1 Peter 5:5), and that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10).
We also lift up this family who has been hurt by his actions. Heal the wounds, Lord—restore what has been broken. Give them strength to forgive, even as You have forgiven us in Christ (Ephesians 4:32). Protect them from bitterness and resentment, and let them walk in the freedom of Your love. If there has been any generational curse of pride or rebellion, we break it now in Jesus’ name, and we declare that this family will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).
Father, we ask that You would bring godly influences into his life—people who will speak truth in love and hold him accountable. If he has rejected You, Lord, we pray that You would draw him to Yourself, that he may come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Soften his heart, Lord, and let him see his need for a Savior.
We thank You, Father, that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We trust in Your power to transform lives, and we stand in faith, believing that You will bring breakthrough in this situation. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.**

We want to encourage you to continue standing in prayer, not just for your father’s change of heart, but also for your own protection and healing. Pride in a parent can leave deep scars, and it’s important that you guard your heart against bitterness. Colossians 3:13 reminds us to *"bear with one another, and forgive each other. If anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you must do."* This doesn’t mean excusing sin, but it does mean releasing the offense to God and trusting Him to bring justice and restoration.
If your father is open to it, we would also encourage you to share God’s Word with him—gently, but boldly. Sometimes, pride blinds a person to their own sin, and they may not realize the damage they’re causing. Proverbs 27:6 says, *"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."* If you can speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), it may be the very thing God uses to break through to him.
Lastly, we urge you to stay rooted in Christ. When dealing with difficult people, it’s easy to become discouraged or even to adopt their ways out of frustration. But we are called to be different—to walk in humility, love, and patience, even when it’s hard. Let this trial draw you closer to the Lord, and trust that He is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We will continue to pray for you and your family. May the Lord grant you peace, wisdom, and perseverance as you navigate this challenge. Stay strong in the faith, and remember that *"the battle is not yours, but God’s"* (2 Chronicles 20:15). He will fight for you.
We also see in 1 John 2:16 that the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the *"pride of life"* are not of the Father but of the world.
