We join you in lifting up your parents before the Lord, crying out for their hearts to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. The conflict, bitterness, and unforgiveness you describe are tools of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy, but we know that our God is mightier! The Scripture declares in **Ezekiel 36:26 (WEB)**, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* We claim this promise over your parents, asking the Lord to break every hard heart, dissolve every bitterness, and replace their strife with His peace that surpasses all understanding.
The veil you mention—the blindness placed by the enemy—is no match for the light of Christ. **2 Corinthians 4:4 (WEB)** reminds us that *"the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them."* But we stand in the authority of **2 Corinthians 3:16 (WEB)**, which says, *"But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."* So we pray boldly that your parents would turn to Jesus, that scales would fall from their eyes, and that they would encounter Him in a way that leaves no room for doubt. May they hear His voice clearly, as **John 10:27 (WEB)** promises: *"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."*
We also lift you up, dear brother or sister, for you are not forgotten in this battle. You are correct—what you face is humanly impossible, but **Matthew 19:26 (WEB)** assures us, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."* The Lord sees your weariness, your need for wisdom, and your cry for deliverance. **James 1:5 (WEB)** tells us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* We ask the Father to flood you with His wisdom, to surround you with His mercy, and to make a way where there seems to be no way. You are not abandoned; He is your deliverer, and He will lift you out of this trial for His glory.
Let us also remind you of the power of forgiveness, even when it feels unjust. **Colossians 3:13 (WEB)** commands, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* While we pray for your parents’ hearts to soften, we encourage you to release any bitterness you may harbor, trusting that vengeance and justice belong to the Lord. Forgiveness does not excuse their actions but frees *you* from the bondage of resentment.
Finally, we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus in this request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** leaves no room for doubt: *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
Let this truth anchor you as we pray together now:

**Heavenly Father,**
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, interceding for our brother/sister and their parents. Lord, You are the God who heals broken relationships, who softens the hardest hearts, and who breaks every chain of bitterness. We ask that You would move powerfully in the lives of these parents—remove the veil of deception, shatter the strongholds of pride and unforgiveness, and draw them into a saving encounter with Jesus Christ. Let them see their need for You, Lord, and respond with repentance and faith.
For our brother/sister, we ask for supernatural wisdom, divine mercy, and a miraculous way out of their impossible situation. You are the God who parts seas and moves mountains; make a way where there is none. Deliver them from every snare of the enemy and let Your glory be displayed in their life. Strengthen them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and fill them with Your peace that guards their heart and mind.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to bring division, despair, or doubt. By the blood of Jesus, we declare that this family will be restored, hearts will be reconciled, and Your name will be glorified. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In the powerful and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. **Amen.**
