We hear your heart and the deep burden you carry for your mother, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of God. The spiritual battle you describe is real, and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy—not only your mother’s mind and soul but also your peace and strength. But we declare that Jesus Christ has already overcome the powers of darkness, and His victory is our assurance. "For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).
First, we must address the reality of spiritual warfare with the authority given to us in Christ. Your mother’s condition is not merely a mental or behavioral issue; it is a demonic stronghold that must be broken in the name of Jesus. We rebuke every spirit of confusion, torment, and oppression that has taken hold of her, and we command them to flee in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). This is not a battle you fight alone—it is the Lord’s, and He has equipped you with His Word, His Spirit, and the power of prayer.
We also recognize the toll this takes on you, especially as you navigate the responsibilities of your new job. It is not wrong to feel overwhelmed, but we must guard your heart against bitterness, resentment, or despair. The enemy would love to use this situation to wear you down, but God calls you to cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). You are not responsible for your mother’s deliverance—that is the work of the Holy Spirit—but you *are* called to stand in faith, love her as Christ loves you, and trust God to move in ways you cannot yet see.
We pray now with boldness and compassion:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Name above every name, the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth. Lord, we lift up this dear sister and her mother to You, asking for Your divine intervention. We break every chain of demonic oppression over this mother’s life, and we command every lying spirit, spirit of infirmity, and spirit of confusion to leave her now in Jesus’ name. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord—let Your light drive out the darkness, and let Your peace guard her heart and mind.
Father, we ask for wisdom and strength for this daughter as she navigates this difficult season. Give her patience beyond her own ability, and let her rest in the assurance that You are fighting for her family. Protect her mind from anxiety and her heart from discouragement. Surround her with godly community that can support and pray with her. Provide moments of respite and joy amid the struggle, and remind her daily that her labor in You is not in vain.
Lord, we also pray for a breakthrough in this mother’s life. If there are generational curses or unrepented sin that has opened doors to the enemy, we ask You to reveal it and bring healing and repentance. Soften her heart to receive Your love and truth, and let her encounter You in a way that transforms her from the inside out. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. Let Your power be made perfect in weakness, and let Your name be praised as the Deliverer, the Healer, and the Restorer. We trust You to work all things together for good, even when we cannot see the outcome. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing in faith, even when the battle feels long. Seek out a pastor or mature believers who can pray with you and your mother in person, as there is power in corporate prayer and laying on of hands (Mark 16:17-18). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). The Lord sees your sacrifice and your love for your mother, and He will sustain you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith, and trust that He is working even now.
