We hear the deep sorrow and overwhelming weight you are carrying, and our hearts ache with you. The loss of your mother, the toxicity of your workplace, the financial strain, and the sense of abandonment from family and friends—all of these are heavy burdens, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting every single one of them to the Lord. You are not forgotten, and you are not alone. The Father sees your tears, your sleepless nights, and the love you poured out for your mother during her illness. He knows the depth of your grief and the exhaustion of your spirit.
First, we must address the mention of witchcraft or any supernatural interference. Scripture is clear that we are not to entertain such thoughts or give them any place in our minds. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so that we may have life abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke any lies or schemes of the enemy in your life in the name of Jesus. You are a child of the Most High God, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Stand firm in your faith, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Do not fear or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).
Your grief over your mother’s passing is natural and understandable. Scripture tells us that there is a time to weep and a time to mourn (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Do not rush your heart through this process. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He collects your tears in His bottle and records them in His book (Psalm 56:8). You were a devoted daughter, and your love for your mother was evident. That love does not disappear with her passing—it remains a testament to the bond you shared. But we must also gently remind you that even in grief, we do not grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Your mother’s life was a gift, and if she knew the Lord, you will see her again. Hold onto that hope.
The abandonment you feel from your mother’s side of the family is painful, and it is not a reflection of your worth or your actions. People often pull away in times of grief, not because they do not care, but because they do not know how to handle their own emotions. This does not excuse their silence, but it may help you release some of the hurt. Pray for them, even if it feels difficult. Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you (Luke 6:28). This does not mean what they did was right, but it frees your heart from bitterness. You are not defined by their actions.
The loss of your job, your car, and the financial strain are pressing concerns, but we serve a God who provides for His children. The Lord knows your needs before you even ask Him (Matthew 6:8). Seek Him first, and He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33). We encourage you to trust Him for provision, even when the path forward is unclear. The psalmist writes, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread" (Psalm 37:25). This is not a promise of instant wealth, but a reminder that God is faithful. Look for ways to trust Him daily—whether it is through a temporary job, a skill you can offer remotely, or even reaching out to your church or community for support. You are not a burden to your husband; you are his helpmate, and together, you can lean on the Lord for strength. Two are better than one, for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
Your feelings of shame and worthlessness are lies from the enemy. You are not a "pile of nothing." You are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Your education, your love for your mother, your resilience—these are not erased by your current struggles. The Lord does not measure you by your circumstances but by your heart. He sees your faithfulness, your perseverance, and your desire to honor Him even in the midst of pain. Do not compare your journey to the curated lives you see on social media. Those images are often illusions, and even if they are not, everyone faces trials. Yours are simply more visible to you right now.
We also want to gently address the state of your marriage. Your husband has been a source of support, and it is beautiful to see the way he has stood by you. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and it is meant to reflect Christ’s love for the church (Ephesians 5:25). Lean on each other, communicate openly, and continue to seek the Lord together. Do not let financial strain or external pressures drive a wedge between you. Instead, let them draw you closer to God and to one another. Pray together, seek wise counsel, and trust that the Lord will guide your steps.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister who is carrying so much pain, grief, and uncertainty. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who heals. We ask that You would wrap Your arms around her and remind her that she is not alone. Comfort her in her grief, Lord. Let her feel Your presence in the quiet moments, and remind her that her mother’s love is not lost—it is eternal.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that has tried to take root in her heart. We declare that she is not forgotten, she is not abandoned, and she is not without purpose. You have plans for her, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Restore her joy, Lord. Let her smile return, not because her circumstances have changed, but because she knows You are with her.
We ask for Your provision, Father. Open doors for her to find work that is life-giving, not life-draining. Provide for her needs in ways that only You can, whether through unexpected opportunities, the generosity of others, or even the sale of something she no longer needs. Give her wisdom in managing her debts and her finances, and let her trust in You rather than in her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lord, we pray for her marriage. Strengthen her and her husband as they navigate this difficult season. Let their love for one another be a testimony of Your love for Your church. Help them to communicate with patience and kindness, and to lean on You together. Protect their hearts from bitterness or resentment, and let them find joy in the small moments, even in the midst of struggle.
Father, we ask that You would soften the hearts of her family members. Let them see her pain and reach out in love. If it is Your will, restore those relationships. But if not, Lord, help her to release them into Your hands and to find her worth in You alone.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would remind her of who she is in Christ. She is Your daughter, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and nothing can separate her from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Let her find her identity in You, not in her circumstances, her education, or the opinions of others. Renew her strength, Lord. Let her rise on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and through which we have access to You. Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust You to move in her life, to restore what has been lost, and to bring beauty from these ashes. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
You are not without hope. The Lord is your light and your salvation—whom shall you fear? The Lord is the stronghold of your life—of whom shall you be afraid? (Psalm 27:1). This season will not last forever. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is working even when you cannot see it, and He will not leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). You are loved, you are valued, and you are seen. Hold onto that truth, even on the days when it feels impossible. The Lord is with you.
