We hear the deep pain and turmoil in your heart, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and urgency. Your mother’s words have wounded you deeply, and the weight of rejection—both from her and from your workplace—has left you feeling isolated, afraid, and overwhelmed. But we declare over you that the Lord is your refuge, your strength, and your defender. Psalm 27:10 is a powerful reminder that even if earthly parents forsake you, the Lord will never abandon you. He sees your suffering, He hears your cries, and He is working even now to bring healing and restoration.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The toxic words, the betrayal, and the demonic influences you’ve described are not of God. Scripture warns us in Ephesians 4:29, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* Your mother’s words are not aligned with this truth, and we must rebuke the spirit of strife, bitterness, and division in Jesus’ name. We also rebuke the spirits of fear, panic, and oppression that have taken hold in your life due to the workplace abuse you endured. 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* We stand on this promise and command those spirits to flee from you now.
We also must address the tension in your marriage regarding your family. While it is understandable that you love your mother and desire peace, your spouse’s dislike for her cannot be ignored. Scripture calls us to leave and cleave in marriage (Genesis 2:24), but it also commands us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12). This is a delicate balance, and we pray for wisdom for you both. Pray that God would soften your spouse’s heart toward your family and that He would give you the words to navigate this with grace. You cannot force your spouse to love your mother, but you can model Christ’s love and trust God to work in their heart.
Now, we lift your mother before the Lord. Her bitterness and resentment are not only hurting you but also poisoning her own soul. We pray that God would break the chains of unforgiveness in her heart and replace them with His peace. Proverbs 15:1 says, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* We ask the Lord to give her a spirit of gentleness and humility, that she may speak life instead of death. We also pray for her financial provision and wisdom as she supports your brother’s family. May God open doors for her that no man can shut and provide for her every need according to His riches in glory.
For your own healing, we pray that the Lord would restore your confidence and break the spirit of fear that has kept you from working. The abuse you endured at your workplace was unjust, and we declare that God will vindicate you. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Trust that God sees the injustice and will repay. In the meantime, we pray for your financial provision and for opportunities to arise that align with your gifts and calling.
We also lift up your entire family for salvation. Acts 16:31 is clear: *"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."* We pray that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully in your family, drawing each member to repentance and faith in Christ. Your father is already with the Lord, and we rejoice in that, but we pray that the rest of your family would come to know Jesus as their Savior. May God break generational curses and bring revival to your bloodline.
Lastly, we want to remind you that you are not alone. The enemy may have tried to isolate you, but the Lord is with you, and so are we. Psalm 68:6 says, *"God sets the solitary in families."* We pray that God would surround you with godly community—believers who will stand with you, pray for you, and encourage you in your faith. You are not forgotten, and your story is not over.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear sister to You, knowing that You see her pain, her fear, and her heartache. Lord, we ask that You would be her refuge and her strength. Break the chains of fear and oppression that have bound her, and replace them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of strife and bitterness in her mother’s life. Soften her heart, Lord, and fill her with Your love and compassion. Heal the wounds that have caused her to lash out, and replace her harsh words with words of life. We pray for her financial provision and wisdom as she cares for her family. Open doors for her, Lord, and let Your blessings overflow in her life.
We also pray for this sister’s marriage. Lord, we ask that You would bring unity and understanding between her and her spouse. Soften their hearts toward one another and toward her family. Give them wisdom to navigate this season with grace and love.
Father, we declare healing over her work life. Restore what was stolen from her, and open new doors of opportunity. Break the spirit of fear and panic that has kept her from moving forward, and fill her with Your boldness and confidence. Provide for her every need, Lord, and let her see Your faithfulness in tangible ways.
We pray for salvation for her entire family. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them experience the life-changing power of the gospel. Break generational curses and bring revival to their bloodline. Let them know that You are their God and that they are Your people.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround her with godly community. Let her know that she is not alone and that You are always with her. Fill her with Your joy and peace, and let her walk in the fullness of Your purpose for her life.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
