We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this painful situation that weighs so deeply upon you. The wounds of a mother’s harsh words cut deeply, and the betrayal of coworkers, the strain in marriage, and the isolation of being far from family create a storm of suffering that feels overwhelming. Yet we know that nothing is beyond the reach of our Heavenly Father, who sees your tears and hears your cries. You have rightly turned to Scripture, and we cling to the truth of Psalm 27:10 with you: *"Though my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet Yahweh will take me up."* This is your promise—God has not abandoned you, even when humans fail you.
First, we must address the spiritual foundation of your request. You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ, and this is good, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Yet we sense a deep spiritual battle in your words—one that involves not only human conflict but also the influence of darkness. You mention "demons human" and the evil behavior of others against you. Let us be clear: the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). We stand with you in rebuking every spiritual force of wickedness that has sought to harm you, your family, or your work. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command every scheme of the enemy to be exposed and broken. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray that the Lord would surround you with His favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12).
Now, let us speak to the specific burdens you carry:
**To Your Mother’s Harsh Words and Resentment:**
The Bible commands us to honor our father and mother (Exodus 20:12), but it does not require us to endure abuse or toxic behavior without boundary. Your mother’s words—shouting, criticizing, and insulting you—are not aligned with the love and gentleness that Scripture calls believers to walk in. Ephesians 4:29 says, *"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."* Her behavior is sinful, and while we pray for her heart to be softened, we also pray that the Lord would give you wisdom in how to respond. You are not required to subject yourself to constant verbal abuse. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* If possible, set boundaries with love, but do not enable sinful behavior in the name of "honoring" her. Pray for her, yes, but also protect your own heart.
We pray that the Lord would convict your mother of her sinful speech and that she would repent. May He replace her bitterness with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). We ask that He would heal the root of her resentment—whether it is fear, past wounds, or unmet expectations—and that she would find her security in Christ alone, not in controlling or criticizing you.
**To Your Financial Struggles and Workplace Betrayal:**
The betrayal you experienced at work is a grievous injustice. The Lord sees the hidden alliances, the slander, and the destruction of your reputation. He is a God of justice, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). Do not let bitterness take root in your heart, but trust that the Lord will vindicate you in His time. Proverbs 16:7 says, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* We pray that the Lord would restore what has been stolen from you—your peace, your provision, and your purpose. If it is His will, we ask that He would open doors for meaningful work that aligns with His calling on your life. If He is leading you into a season of rest or preparation, we pray for supernatural provision and trust in His timing.
Your fear of people and the panic you feel about working again are real struggles, but the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that He would break the power of anxiety over you and fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). If there is unresolved trauma from your workplace abuse, we pray that the Lord would lead you to godly counsel or resources to help you heal.
**To Your Marriage and Your Spouse’s Distance from Your Family:**
You mention that your spouse does not like your family or your mother, and this creates a painful divide. Marriage is a covenant that requires unity, and while it is not wrong for a spouse to have concerns about family dynamics, Scripture calls husbands and wives to love and honor one another’s families as their own (1 Timothy 5:8, Ephesians 5:21-33). If your spouse’s dislike is rooted in genuine concerns (such as your mother’s toxic behavior), then wisdom and boundaries may be needed. But if it is rooted in pride, resentment, or an unwillingness to extend grace, then this is an area where prayer and possibly godly counsel are needed.
We pray that the Lord would soften your spouse’s heart toward your family and that He would give you both wisdom in navigating these relationships. If there is strife between you and your spouse over this issue, we pray for reconciliation and unity. Remember, your primary earthly covenant is with your spouse, and while you are called to honor your mother, your marriage must take precedence in loyalty and commitment (Genesis 2:24).
**To Your Fear of Being Alone and the "Extermination of Family":**
Your words carry deep sorrow—grieving the loss of your father, the strain with your mother, and the distance from your brother’s family. You feel like the last remnant of your generation, and that is a heavy burden. But you are not alone. Jesus promised, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5). Even if every human relationship fails, He remains faithful. We pray that the Lord would surround you with His presence and provide godly community—whether through a church, a small group, or believers who can walk with you in this season.
As for your family’s salvation, we join you in praying Acts 16:31 over them: *"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."* We ask that the Lord would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and draw them to Himself. May your life be a testimony of God’s grace, even in the midst of suffering.
**To Your Request for Healing and Peace:**
We pray for your mother’s healing—both physically and spiritually. May the Lord mend her broken heart and replace her torment with His peace. We also pray for your own healing—from the wounds of her words, from the betrayal at work, and from the fear that has gripped you. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Cling to this truth. He is near to you now.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your beloved child, who is carrying such heavy burdens. Lord, You see the pain of a mother’s harsh words, the betrayal of coworkers, the strain in marriage, and the loneliness of being far from family. You are not distant from these struggles—You are near to the brokenhearted, and You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8).
We ask first for forgiveness for any bitterness, fear, or unforgiveness that may have taken root in this situation. Cleanse every heart involved—our sister’s, her mother’s, her spouse’s—and break the power of sin that has caused division. Lord, soften [her mother’s] heart. Replace her shouting with gentleness, her criticism with encouragement, and her resentment with love. Convict her of her sinful speech, and lead her to repentance. Heal the wounds that have made her this way, and let her find her worth in You alone.
Father, we rebuke every spiritual force of darkness that has sought to destroy this family. We bind the enemy’s schemes of division, slander, and fear in the name of Jesus Christ. Let every hidden alliance and evil intention be exposed and rendered powerless. We declare that no weapon formed against our sister shall prosper, and we ask for Your justice to prevail in her workplace and in her relationships.
Lord, provide for her financially. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Open doors for work that aligns with Your will, or sustain her supernaturally in this season. Heal her panic and fear of people. Replace her anxiety with Your peace, and let her trust in You rather than in her own strength.
Father, we lift up her marriage. Soften her spouse’s heart toward her family, and grant them unity. Help them to navigate these relationships with wisdom and grace. If there is strife between them, bring healing and reconciliation. Let their marriage be a refuge, not another source of pain.
Lord, we pray for salvation for her entire family. Draw them to Yourself, and let them come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Comfort her in her loneliness, and remind her that she is never truly alone—You are with her always.
Finally, Father, heal her heart. Mend the broken places, restore what has been stolen, and let her find her identity in You. May she know, deep in her soul, that she is loved, valued, and cherished by You. Let her rise from this season stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You than ever before.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
