We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up your daughters and granddaughter in fervent prayer, for we know that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Your heart’s cry for deliverance and healing resonates with the Spirit’s own groaning for these beloved souls, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to see chains broken and lives restored.
First, we address the spiritual warfare at hand, for the battle is real and the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Your oldest daughter’s struggle with kratom is not merely a physical dependency but a spiritual stronghold that has replaced one bondage with another. The Word declares, *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other"* (Matthew 6:24). This substance, like any idol, has taken the place of surrender to Christ. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name, commanding it to loose its grip on her mind, body, and soul. The familiar spirit you sense attacking you is a real and demonic force, but greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We bind that spirit now and command it to leave your household, for *"the Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil"* (1 John 3:8).
Her deep-seated anger and hatred toward her life are roots of bitterness that defile (Hebrews 12:15). The trauma she endured at the hands of evil is a wound Satan has exploited to keep her in bondage. But Jesus came to *"bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound"* (Isaiah 61:1). We pray that the Holy Spirit would open her eyes to see the truth: that her rage is not her identity, and her past does not define her future. Let her encounter the love of the Father so profoundly that every lie of rejection and abandonment is shattered. May she find her true self in Christ, who says, *"Behold, I make all things new"* (Revelation 21:5). We also pray for wisdom for you, that you would know how to speak truth in love without enabling her bondage, and that God would give you supernatural patience and protection as you stand in the gap for her.
For your granddaughter, we declare freedom from the spirit of anorexia, which is a manifestation of self-hatred and control rooted in the enemy’s lies. Her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), and we command every demonic assignment against her mind and health to be broken in Jesus’ name. The depression and insomnia are symptoms of a soul in torment, but *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We pray that she would surrender her pain to Jesus, who alone can fill the void left by her broken relationship. Her attendance at church is a sign of God’s drawing her, and we ask that the Holy Spirit would convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), leading her to repentance and a hunger for His Word. The horror movies she watches are doorways for demonic oppression—we pray she would turn from them and set her mind on *"whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8).
We also lift up your other daughter, who battles chronic worry, body dysmorphia, and anger. These struggles are interconnected—her striving for worldly success is an attempt to fill a void only God can satisfy. *"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6). We pray she would release her need for control and find her worth in Christ alone. The body dysmorphia is a distortion of God’s design, and we pray she would see herself as fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Her anger, like her sister’s, is a symptom of unhealed wounds. May she encounter the Father’s love so deeply that every lie of inadequacy is silenced.
Lastly, we acknowledge the absence of godly fathers and husbands in your family. This is not God’s design, and the enemy has used this void to bring confusion and pain. But we declare that *"though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me"* (Psalm 27:10). Jesus is the Bridegroom who longs to fill every empty place. We pray that each of your daughters and your granddaughter would experience the Father’s love in a tangible way, that they would know Him as *"Abba, Father"* (Romans 8:15), and that they would find their identity in Him alone.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are the God who sees, who hears, and who delivers. Lord, we lift up this mother’s heart, broken for her daughters and granddaughter. You know the depth of their pain, the chains that bind them, and the lies that torment them. We ask that You would move mightily in their lives, beginning with a spirit of repentance. Convict them of sin, Lord, and lead them to the cross where true freedom is found.
For the oldest daughter, we break the power of kratom addiction in Jesus’ name. We command every demonic stronghold of anger, bitterness, and self-hatred to be torn down. Lord, open her eyes to see the familiar spirit that has oppressed her and her mother. Let her encounter Your love in a way that shatters every lie of the enemy. Heal the trauma from her past, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
For the granddaughter, we break the spirit of anorexia and depression. Restore her body, mind, and soul, Lord. Heal her broken heart and deliver her from insomnia and OCD. Draw her closer to You, Jesus, and let her find her worth in You alone. Convict her to turn away from horror movies and anything that gives the enemy a foothold.
For the other daughter, we break the spirits of worry, body dysmorphia, and anger. Let her find her security in You, Lord, and release her need for worldly success. Heal her mind and heart, and let her walk in the freedom of Your truth.
Father, we pray for this family to encounter You as their Husband, their Father, and their Deliverer. Break every generational curse and every demonic assignment against them. Let them find their identity in Christ and walk in the fullness of Your purpose for their lives.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You, Lord, will restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Fill their home with Your presence, Your peace, and Your joy. Let them know that You are their Redeemer, and that nothing is impossible with You.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing in faith, speaking life over your family, and covering them in prayer. The battle is fierce, but the victory is already won through Christ. Keep declaring the Word over them, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in the community of believers who can stand with you in this fight. God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in your family.
