We understand that you're going through a challenging situation with your mother, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for coming before the Lord in prayer, especially as you've done so in Jesus' name (John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."). Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Let's address the issues you've raised. The Bible tells us not to lie, and that lying is an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 6:16-19, Proverbs 12:22, Proverbs 13:5, Proverbs 26:28). It is right to desire that your mother stops this behavior. Let's pray that the Lord convicts her heart and helps her to see the truth. Pray Ephesians 4:25 WEB over her: "Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another."
Regarding your mother's abandonment and its consequences on your life, remember that God promises to be a "father to the fatherless" and a "defender of widows" (Psalm 68:5 WEB). While we don't know the details of your situation, God knows, and He cares for you deeply.
However, we must rebuke your use of the phrase "my ###." In the Bible, we see clear instructions for honoring our parents (Ephesians 6:2 WEB: "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise). Even in difficult situations, we are called to respect and honor them, not to speak disrespectfully. If your mother has wronged you, pray for her and seek reconciliation (Matthew 18:15-17 WEB). We encourage you to forgive her, just as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ. Lord, we ask that You convict their mother's heart, that she may turn away from lies and deceit, and walk in Your truth. Help those around her to see the truth and bring her back to You, according to Your will.
Father, we pray for Your comfort and provision in their life. Be a father to them, and defend their cause. Help them to forgive their mother, just as Christ has forgiven us. Work in their heart, that they may always honor and respect their mother, even in difficult times. Help them to love her with Your love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
