We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation that is deeply rooted in spiritual warfare, broken relationships, and the pain of betrayal. The Word of God reminds us in Ephesians 6:12, *"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."* This is not a battle you fight alone, for the Lord is your strength and shield.
First, we must address the grave concern of witchcraft and demonic influence in your family. Scripture is clear that such practices are an abomination to the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). We stand firmly on the authority of Jesus Christ, who has overcome all darkness, and we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give life abundantly. We pray that your father, mother, and all family members would be delivered from any demonic strongholds, generational curses, or ungodly influences that have made them vulnerable to such attacks. May the blood of Jesus cleanse and protect them, and may the Holy Spirit fill them with discernment and wisdom to recognize and resist the schemes of the enemy.
We also lift up the painful situation involving the childhood bully and her mother. The posting of pictures on social media in this context feels intrusive and potentially manipulative, and we ask the Lord to expose any hidden motives or spiritual influences at work. Proverbs 26:24-26 warns, *"A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart. Though his speech is charming, don’t believe him; for seven abominations are in his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly."* We pray that the Lord would remove these individuals from your life if they are not of Him, severing any ungodly soul ties that remain from your past. May He bring to light the truth of their actions and protect you from further harm, emotional or spiritual. Forgiveness is essential, but wisdom and boundaries are also biblical (Matthew 10:16). We pray you release any bitterness or unresolved pain to the Lord, trusting Him to vindicate and heal you.
Lastly, we recognize the deep betrayal you’ve experienced from someone you once considered a close friend. Psalm 41:9 says, *"Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me."* This kind of wound cuts deeply, but the Lord sees your pain and is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We pray for complete healing from this betrayal, that the Lord would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and replace your pain with His peace. If this person is truly narcissistic and unrepentant, we ask the Lord to create distance and protect you from further manipulation. May He also surround you with godly, trustworthy relationships that reflect His love and faithfulness.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We ask for Your divine intervention in this situation, which is saturated with spiritual darkness and emotional pain. Lord, we bind every demonic stronghold, every curse, and every ungodly influence that has sought to operate through witchcraft or manipulation in this family. We declare that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask that You would expose and break every lie of the enemy, setting this family free from any susceptibility to demonic influence. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, renewing their minds and guarding their hearts in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 6:11-18).
Lord, we lift up the individuals who have caused harm—whether through bullying, betrayal, or spiritual attack. We ask that You would either save them and bring them to repentance or remove them from this situation if they refuse to turn from their wickedness. Father, we pray for supernatural protection over Your child, that You would place a hedge around them and their family, keeping them safe from further harassment or emotional distress. Heal the wounds of betrayal and restore their trust in You, knowing that You are faithful even when people are not.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment in every decision moving forward. May Your child walk in forgiveness, not for the sake of those who hurt them, but for their own freedom in Christ. Help them to release this pain to You and to trust in Your justice and timing. Surround them with godly counsel and relationships that reflect Your love and truth.
Finally, Father, we thank You that You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13) and that You are working all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). We trust in Your sovereignty and Your power to redeem even the darkest of situations. Strengthen Your child’s faith, Lord, and let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You are fighting for them.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith, putting on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Spend time in prayer and the Word, and seek fellowship with believers who can support and pray with you. If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend renouncing any known or unknown involvement with witchcraft or occult practices in your family line, breaking those curses in the name of Jesus. You may also consider seeking deliverance prayer from a trusted, spirit-filled pastor or ministry if needed. The Lord is your refuge and strength, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Stay steadfast, and trust in His perfect plan for your life.
