Please pray for me about this: my mother is EXTREMELY demonized leading to severe emotional and behavioral problems. I'm not just saying this to say it or being superstitious. It is a problem even others have pointed out and there are verifiable problems in her life and family that caused her to be this way. Something that my mother is constantly doing is abruptly waking me up out of my sleep even for ridiculous, nonsensical reasons. It is often hard for me to fall asleep in the first place and her doing this causes a lot of problems for me (including spiritual attacking me when I get rest broken if I am woken up abruptly and don't sleep properly - the enemy is probably using my mother to cause this in the first place) as once she wakes me up, I can't go back to sleep properly. She even does this at times when I need rest like when I'm sick. She just woke me up abruptly this morning and I'm really upset because I'm very tired and need rest and don't know if I'll be able to go back to sleep. Thank you.

We hear your deep distress and the heavy burden you are carrying, not only for your own well-being but for your mother’s spiritual condition. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and it is clear he is using this situation to disrupt your peace, health, and spiritual strength. Sleep is a gift from God (Psalm 127:2), and when it is repeatedly broken, it leaves you vulnerable to further attack. We stand with you in this battle, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).
First, we must address the reality of spiritual warfare in your mother’s life. The Bible is clear that demonic influence can manifest in behaviors that are destructive, irrational, and even tormenting (Mark 5:1-13). However, we must also recognize that your mother is not beyond the reach of God’s mercy and deliverance. Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18), and His power is greater than any darkness. We rebuke the spirits of torment, confusion, and disruption in your mother’s life in the name of Jesus. We command them to flee and loose her from their grip, for it is written, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).
We also must address the impact this is having on you. Your rest is being stolen, and this is not merely an inconvenience—it is a tactic of the enemy to weaken you. We encourage you to take practical steps to protect your sleep, such as setting firm boundaries with your mother. Jesus Himself withdrew to solitary places to pray and rest (Luke 5:16), showing us the importance of safeguarding our physical and spiritual well-being. If possible, communicate your need for uninterrupted rest, especially when you are ill or particularly exhausted. If she continues to disregard your needs, seek godly counsel from a pastor or trusted believer who can help you navigate this situation with wisdom.
We also urge you to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) daily. This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and declare God’s promises over your life and your mother’s. Speak Scripture aloud, for the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). When the enemy tries to disrupt your peace, remind him that "no weapon formed against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17).
We must also address the possibility that your mother may be involved in practices or beliefs that have opened doors to demonic influence. The Bible warns against consulting mediums, practicing divination, or engaging in any form of occult activity (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). If this is the case, we urge you to pray for her repentance and to gently, but firmly, encourage her to renounce any ungodly ties and turn to Jesus. Salvation is the only true deliverance, for "if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36).
Let us pray for you and your mother now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one and their mother to You, knowing that You see their pain, their exhaustion, and their struggle. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of darkness that is binding this mother and disrupting this household. We rebuke the spirits of torment, confusion, and disruption, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name. We declare that Your light will shine in this darkness, and that Your peace will reign in this home.
Father, we ask that You would minister to this dear one’s heart. Give them strength, wisdom, and discernment to navigate this difficult situation. Protect their rest, Lord, and grant them the sleep they need to be refreshed and renewed. Help them to set boundaries that honor You and preserve their well-being. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way.
For this mother, Father, we ask that You would draw her to Yourself. Soften her heart, Lord, and open her eyes to see the truth of Your love and power. If there are areas in her life that have given the enemy a foothold, reveal them to her, and lead her to repentance. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let her experience the freedom that only comes through Jesus Christ. We declare that she is not beyond Your reach, and that Your mercy is greater than her sin.
Lord, we also ask that You would provide this dear one with godly support—a pastor, a counselor, or a trusted believer who can walk alongside them in this battle. Give them the courage to seek help and the wisdom to know how to respond to their mother with love and truth.
We thank You, Father, that You are a God who hears our prayers and moves on our behalf. We trust in Your power to bring deliverance, healing, and restoration to this family. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your kingdom come in this home as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to trust that God is at work, even when you cannot see it. The battle may be fierce, but the victory is already won through Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). You are not alone in this fight, and we stand with you, believing that God will bring breakthrough and freedom.

Dear friend,
We're here for you, standing with you in this challenging time. We've been praying for you and your mother, and we want to encourage you with some thoughts.
Firstly, remember that God is always with you, even in the midst of this storm. He promises, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Trust in His unfailing love and faithfulness.
Secondly, it's important to set boundaries, not out of selfishness, but to protect your well-being. It's okay to communicate your needs clearly and kindly to your mother. As Jesus withdrew to solitary places to pray and rest (Luke 5:16), it's essential for you to do the same. If she continues to disregard your needs, seek godly counsel from a pastor or trusted believer.
Lastly, keep reminding yourself and your mother of God's promises. Speak them out loud, for the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Here are a few to hold onto:
- "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation" (Exodus 15:2).
- "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken" (Psalm 55:22).
- "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27).
We're believing with you for a breakthrough, for God to bring peace, healing, and restoration to your family. Keep trusting in Him, and remember that you're never alone.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
