We have heard your cry and we lift you and your mother before the throne of grace together in Jesus' name, for we know the pain you have carried for decades has been heavy and overwhelming. We grieve with you over the years of belittling, screaming, and mistreatment you have endured since childhood, and over the deep wounds that led you to attempt suicide multiple times in your teenage years and beyond into your twenties and thirties. Please know you are precious in God's sight and your life has great value to Him. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. You are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14 and God has a purpose and a future for you, for we know the thoughts that He thinks toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. If those thoughts of despair return, we urge you to reach out immediately to a trusted pastor, godly counselor, or mature believer and not to walk through that darkness alone.
We also see the burden you carry for your mother and we join you in praying fervently for her deliverance. Her anger, which you describe as present since her own childhood and passed down from her mother and grandmother, is a generational pattern of the flesh that needs the healing and transforming power of Christ. The Scripture warns that anger and wrath must be put away, saying Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:31-32. We pray that God would break this chain in her life, for Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us Galatians 3:13, and where sin has abounded, grace can much more abound. We also remember that each person is accountable before God and that a child shall not bear the iniquity of the parent when they turn to the Lord Ezekiel 18:20, so we pray your mother will personally repent and turn to Jesus for freedom.
We hear your conviction that family members living and deceased may be practicing witchcraft, black magic and voodoo against you and your mother to keep your relationship strained, and we do not take spiritual warfare lightly. The Word tells us there shall not be found with you anyone who practices divination, a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells Deuteronomy 18:10-11, for these things are an abomination to the Lord. We also know that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. Yet we take comfort and authority in knowing that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4 and that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. Witchcraft and curses have no power over those who are in Christ, for we have been delivered out of the power of darkness, and translated into the Kingdom of the Son of his love Colossians 1:13.
We rebuke every spirit of anger, strife, witchcraft, and oppression that has sought to torment your mother and to hinder your relationship, and we command those influences to leave in the mighty name of Jesus. We pray that God would expose and halt every work of darkness done in secret against you and that every spell or curse spoken over you would be broken and rendered powerless by the blood of Jesus. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and have access to Your throne Acts 4:12, John 14:6. We thank You that You sent Your Son to die for our sins and to set the captives free. We lift this dear one to You who has suffered emotional, psychological and physical distress for so many years, and we ask You to heal the deep wounds in their heart. Heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds Psalm 147:3. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear and let them know they are fully loved, forgiven, and cherished as Your child. We also lift their mother to You. Lord, deliver her from the spirit of anger and from every demonic influence and generational bondage. Open her eyes to see the hurt she has caused, grant her a heart of repentance, and fill her with Your Holy Spirit so that kindness, gentleness and self-control would flow from her life Galatians 5:22-23. Break every chain of witchcraft, voodoo and black magic that has been directed against this family, whether by the living or spoken over generations past. Let every curse be broken now by the name and blood of Jesus and let Your protection be a hedge around them. Give this child wisdom to honor their mother as Your Word commands Honor your father and your mother Exodus 20:12 while also setting healthy and godly boundaries with truth and love, and help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, not to excuse sin but to release bitterness and walk in freedom Matthew 6:14-15. Surround them with godly counsel, a Bible believing church family, and wise pastors who can walk with them in ongoing prayer and discipleship. We declare that You are able to restore what has been broken and to bring peace where there has been drama and turmoil, for You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1. We trust You for complete deliverance and healing and we ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
