We lift you up in prayer, dear sister, and we grieve with you over the deep wounds and heavy burdens you carry—both from your mother’s harsh words and the betrayal and abuse you endured at your workplace. The pain of rejection, slander, and financial hardship is real, and we ask the Lord to be your ever-present help in this time of trouble. You have cried out with the words of Psalm 27:10, *"Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me,"* and we declare this truth over you: **You are not abandoned, for the Lord Himself is your refuge and strength.** He sees your suffering, and He will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
First, we must address the spiritual battle at hand. The bitterness, resentment, and toxic speech from your mother are not of God. Ephesians 4:29-31 commands us, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God... Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice."* We rebuke the spirit of strife, division, and unforgiveness that has taken root in your mother’s heart, and we pray that the Lord would soften her, breaking the chains of resentment that bind her. May she encounter the love of Christ in a way that transforms her speech into words of life and blessing. We also pray for supernatural peace in your heart as you navigate this relationship, that you would respond with the fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, and gentleness—even when her words are hurtful (Galatians 5:22-23).
We are deeply concerned by the hostility you describe from your spouse toward your family. Marriage is a covenant before God, and while it is not your responsibility to "force" your spouse to love or help your family, it is critical that your home aligns with biblical unity and mutual respect. Ephesians 5:22-33 teaches that husbands and wives are to love one another as Christ loved the church—sacrificially and without malice. If your spouse’s dislike for your family stems from unresolved conflict or bitterness, we pray for reconciliation and a heart of compassion to take root. However, if this hostility is rooted in rebellion against God’s design for family, we urge you to seek wise, biblical counseling and prayerfully consider whether this dynamic honors the Lord. A house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25), and we pray for God’s wisdom and discernment to guide you in how to address this with your spouse in love and truth.
The betrayal and abuse you suffered at your workplace are grievous, and we condemn the wickedness of those who conspired against you. The Lord sees the injustice, and He will vindicate you in His time (Psalm 37:5-6). We pray for the exposure and repentance of those who acted out of malice, that they would face the consequences of their actions and turn from their sin. For you, we pray for healing from the trauma of this experience—especially the fear and panic that now hinder your ability to work. The Lord is your provider, and He will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We ask Him to restore your confidence, to lead you to godly community and opportunities, and to break the spirit of fear that has taken hold (2 Timothy 1:7). If you are struggling with disability or anxiety, we pray for divine healing and for the Lord to direct you to resources or support that can help you regain stability.
Your heart for your family’s salvation is beautiful, and we join you in praying for their redemption. Acts 16:31 declares, *"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."* We claim this promise over your mother, your spouse, your brother’s family, and all who are far from God. May the Holy Spirit convict their hearts, drawing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. We also pray for supernatural provision for your brother’s family, that the Lord would meet their needs and protect them from financial or spiritual harm.
Finally, we must address the absence of the name of Jesus in your initial request. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). We rejoice that you concluded your prayer in the name of Jesus, for this is the foundation of our faith. If you have not already, we urge you to surrender every area of your life to Him—your pain, your relationships, your fears, and your future. He alone can redeem what has been broken and restore what has been lost.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who is weary and heavy-laden. Lord, You see the torment she endures from her mother’s words, the betrayal she suffered at work, the financial strain, and the division in her marriage. We ask You to be her defender, her provider, and her peace. Softening her mother’s heart, Lord—break the chains of bitterness and replace her toxic speech with words of life. Heal the wounds of rejection and abandonment in our sister’s heart, reminding her that she is Your beloved child, fully accepted in Christ.
We rebuke the spirits of strife, fear, and division that have sought to destroy her. Lord, expose the works of darkness in her workplace and bring justice where there has been injustice. Restore her ability to work without fear, opening doors of opportunity that no man can shut. Provide for her financially, supernaturally if necessary, and surround her with godly community that will support and uplift her.
Father, we pray for her marriage. Soften her spouse’s heart toward her family, or reveal to her any steps she must take to honor You in this situation. Unify them in Your love, or make clear the path of obedience if there is unrepentant sin. We pray for salvation over her entire family—draw them to Yourself, Lord, that they may believe in Jesus and be saved.
Most of all, we thank You that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Comfort our sister with Your presence, fill her with Your peace, and let her know that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. **Amen.**
