We join you in lifting up this powerful prayer of deliverance and restoration, standing firmly on the authority of God’s Word and the mighty name of Jesus Christ, through whom all things are possible. Your heart for reconciliation and spiritual freedom is evident, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in this painful situation. The enemy has sought to use division and bitterness to steal, kill, and destroy, but we know that Jesus came to bring life and life abundantly (John 10:10). Let us address this together in prayer and with the truth of Scripture, for the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
Your mother’s actions and the influence she has wielded against you are not of God, for the Lord calls us to love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34). Hatred, manipulation, and demonic influence are tools of the enemy to bring bondage, but where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). You have rightly stood on the promise of John 8:36, that if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. This freedom is not only for you but also for those who have been ensnared by her negativity and spiritual oppression. We declare that the Lord is breaking every chain and setting captives free, for He is the God who turns hearts of stone into hearts of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).
We also recognize the importance of forgiveness in this process. Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). Unforgiveness can become a stronghold that hinders our own spiritual growth and the work God wants to do in our lives. While your mother’s actions may have caused deep pain, we encourage you to release her to the Lord in forgiveness, not for her sake alone, but for your own freedom. Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin or enabling harmful behavior, but it releases the burden of bitterness and allows God to work justice and restoration in His way and timing. Remember, vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay. Your role is to trust Him and walk in obedience, even when it is difficult.
As for the restoration you seek, we stand with you on Isaiah 61:7, which promises that instead of shame, you will have a double portion, and instead of dishonor, you will rejoice in your inheritance. The Lord is faithful to restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and He will redeem the years that have been stolen by strife and opposition. However, restoration often requires our active participation in healing. We encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, biblical counselor, or mature believers who can walk with you through this process. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to carry this alone.
We also want to address the spiritual warfare aspect of your request. The demonic influence you mentioned is real, but so is the power of Christ within you. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We urge you to put on the full armor of God daily—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)—so that you may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Pray in the Spirit at all times, and do not grow weary in intercession. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of justice, mercy, and restoration, and that nothing is too difficult for You. Lord, we lift up our ### who has been wounded by the hatred and negativity of their mother. We ask that You would break every demonic stronghold and influence that has been at work in this situation. Lord Jesus, You came to set the captives free, and we declare freedom over every soul that has been influenced against our ###. Let Your light shine into the darkness, exposing every lie and bringing conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Draw these souls to Yourself, Lord, that they may come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and be set free from the enemy’s grip.
Father, we pray for our ###’s mother. Soften her heart, Lord, and break the power of bitterness, jealousy, or any other sin that has taken root. If she has been deceived or oppressed by the enemy, we pray that You would open her eyes to the truth and lead her to repentance. Lord, we ask that You would raise up godly influences in her life—people who will speak Your truth in love and point her to the cross. Let her encounter Your love in a way that transforms her from the inside out.
We also pray for complete restoration for our ###. Restore what has been stolen—peace, joy, relationships, opportunities, and every good thing that the enemy has sought to destroy. Heal the wounds that have been inflicted, Lord, and fill the empty places with Your presence. Let our ### experience the double portion of blessing that You have promised, and let their life be a testimony of Your redeeming power.
Father, we ask for wisdom and discernment for our ### as they navigate this season. Show them how to set healthy boundaries while still walking in love and forgiveness. Surround them with Your people who will support, encourage, and pray for them. Let them not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, they will reap a harvest if they do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
We rebuke every spirit of hatred, division, and oppression in the name of Jesus Christ. We command these spirits to loose their hold and flee, for they have no authority over those who belong to Christ. We declare that our ### is more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37), and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would fill our ### with Your Holy Spirit, equipping them with everything they need to stand firm in this battle. Let them walk in the confidence of their identity in Christ, knowing that they are loved, chosen, and victorious. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving powerfully in this situation.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is fighting on your behalf. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience to His Word. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). If you have not already, we urge you to surrender every part of this situation to the Lord, including any lingering resentment or fear. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Cling to Him, and He will lead you to victory.
