We hear the deep pain and isolation in your words, and our hearts ache with you. Feeling surrounded by darkness—especially within your own family—is one of the heaviest burdens to carry. But you are *not* alone. The Lord sees your suffering, collects your tears, and walks beside you even when no one else does. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."*
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The hatred and darkness you describe are not of God. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"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."* Your family’s behavior may be influenced by forces that oppose Christ, and we must rebuke that influence in Jesus’ name. Satan seeks to isolate and destroy, but Jesus came to give life—and life abundantly (John 10:10). We stand with you in prayer, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
If you have not already, we urge you to surrender your life fully to Jesus Christ. He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not confessed Him as Lord, we invite you to do so now. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."* Salvation is not just about escaping hell—it’s about being adopted into God’s family, where you are never truly alone.
Now, let us pray for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister who is suffering under the weight of hatred and spiritual darkness in their family. Lord, You are the Father to the fatherless and the Defender of the oppressed (Psalm 68:5). We ask that You would surround them with Your presence, comfort them with Your love, and remind them that they are never alone. We rebuke every spirit of division, hatred, and despair in Jesus’ mighty name. Break the chains of isolation, Lord, and let them feel the warmth of Your embrace. Provide godly community—believers who will stand with them, pray for them, and remind them of Your truth. Heal their wounds, restore their hope, and let them experience the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). If they have not yet surrendered to You, draw them close, Lord. Let them know that in You, they have a family that will never abandon them. We declare victory over this situation, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."*
You are not forgotten. God has a purpose for your life, and He will use even this pain for His glory if you let Him. Seek out a local church or Christian community where you can find support and encouragement. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and we are here to do that for you. If you are in immediate danger, please reach out to someone you trust or a local authority—your safety matters to God.
Hold fast to His promises. Jeremiah 29:11 says, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the Lord, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* That future begins today. You are loved, you are seen, and you are *not* alone.
