Beloved of All
I stopped praying for my parents' children. My parents played a ouija board. Then my dad started seeing, having a relationship with a wiccan, medicine woman, and my mom started having a relationship with a medicine man. So I had stopped praying for my parents' children. My parens don't want to leave their ways of being involved with wiccan people. So I had stopped praying for them. I was praying for them at first but family, my dad started saying I'm crazy. So I had stopped praying.
 
We hear the deep pain and frustration in your words, and our hearts ache with you as you navigate this difficult situation. The spiritual warfare you describe is very real, and it is clear that your parents have opened doors to darkness through their involvement with the occult, whether through the Ouija board, Wicca, or other pagan practices. Scripture is unequivocal about such things: "There shall not be found with you anyone who... practices divination, or a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord" (Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB). These are not harmless traditions or cultural practices, they are direct rebellion against God and invite demonic influence into lives and families.

It is understandable that you felt compelled to stop praying for them, especially when your father dismissed your concerns and labeled you as "crazy." The enemy would love nothing more than to isolate you and make you feel powerless, but we must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). Even when your parents reject the truth, your prayers are not in vain. In fact, they are a powerful weapon against the darkness that has ensnared them. We are called to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), even for those who persecute us or mock our faith (Matthew 5:44). Your parents may not see the danger now, but God can soften their hearts and open their eyes.

We must also address the relationships your parents are in, these are not merely inappropriate, but they are spiritually toxic. The Bible warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and this principle extends to close associations with those who practice witchcraft or idolatry. These relationships are not just "different beliefs"; they are alliances with forces that oppose God. We rebuke the deception that has blinded your parents into thinking these connections are harmless or even beneficial. The medicine woman and medicine man they are involved with are not sources of healing or wisdom, they are agents of deception, leading your parents further from the truth.

It is also critical to examine your own heart in this. You mentioned stopping your prayers, and while your frustration is understandable, we must guard against bitterness or resentment taking root. "See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many" (Hebrews 12:15 WEB). The enemy would love to use this situation to harden your heart, but we must choose to walk in love and forgiveness, even as we stand firm against the darkness. Your parents may not respond to your prayers immediately, but God is faithful, and His Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11).

We also want to gently remind you of the power of the name of Jesus in all of this. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is only by His name that we can rebuke the enemy and see breakthrough. "Therefore God also highly exalted Him, and gave to Him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth" (Philippians 2:9-10 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender this situation fully to Jesus, trusting Him to fight this battle on your behalf.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear ### and their family. Lord, we know that You are a God who hears the cries of Your children, and we ask that You would move mightily in this situation. We rebuke the spirits of deception, witchcraft, and idolatry that have taken hold of this family. In the name of Jesus, we command every ungodly influence to leave and never return. We break every generational curse and every soul tie that has been formed through these occult practices. Father, we ask that You would open the eyes of these parents to see the truth, that the paths they are walking lead only to destruction. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them back to You.

We pray for our ###, that You would strengthen them in their faith and fill them with Your peace. Guard their heart against bitterness, resentment, or fear, and help them to trust in Your timing and Your ways. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with godly community, believers who can stand with them in prayer and encouragement. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate this difficult season, and help them to walk in love without compromising the truth.

We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on Your promise that You will never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Lord, we ask that You would restore what has been broken and bring redemption to this family. May Your light shine so brightly in their lives that the darkness has no choice but to flee. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name that breaks every chain. Amen.

We encourage you to keep standing in faith, even when it feels like nothing is changing. Your prayers are not wasted, and God is at work, even when we cannot see it. Consider reaching out to a trusted pastor or mature believer who can stand with you in prayer and provide biblical counsel. You are not alone in this fight, and we are here to support you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
 
We feel your pain and understand how deeply this situation has shaken you. It’s heartbreaking when our own family turns away from God and embraces darkness, especially when they dismiss our concerns or even call us out of touch. But we want you to know that God hasn’t forgotten your parents or your family, He’s still moving, even when we can’t see it.

It’s clear that evil has a stronghold here, and we need to fight back with prayer and faith. Those relationships your parents are in aren’t just different beliefs, they’re dangerous, and they’re pulling them further from God’s truth. We need to pray boldly against the deception and ask God to break every chain holding them back.

And we need to check our own hearts too. It’s easy to let frustration or even anger creep in when we feel unheard or rejected, but we don’t want bitterness to take root. God’s Word tells us to pray for our enemies and to bless those who curse us. Our prayers for them aren’t wasted, even if they don’t change right away.

Hold fast to Jesus in this. He’s the one who can break every stronghold and bring light into the darkest places. We’re praying for your parents’ hearts to soften and for you to feel His peace as you trust Him with this burden.

Father, we come before You on behalf of this family, asking for Your mercy and intervention. Lord, we break every demonic influence over their lives and declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper. Soften their hearts, open their eyes, and draw them back to You, Jesus. Protect our brother/sister from discouragement and fill them with Your love and strength. We trust You to work all things for good, even when it’s hard to see. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

I stopped praying since I realised God does not care about us. He only answers the prayer of the wicked and despises the prayer of the good ones. How do you expect me to continue praying and trusting when all things have gone against me. I have been faithful to God in everything but he has left...
