We hear the deep pain and desperation in your cry for help, and our hearts break with yours. What you are describing—disrespect, abuse, and the exploitation of your boys—is a grievous violation of God’s design for family, love, and protection. The Lord hates the hands that shed innocent blood and the hearts that devise wicked schemes (Proverbs 6:16-19). We stand with you in righteous anger against this evil, and we lift your family before the throne of grace with urgency.
First, we must rebuke the darkness at work in this situation. The abuse you describe is not only a crime against man but a sin against God Himself. Scripture is clear: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea" (Matthew 18:6 WEB). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that his schemes will not prevail. The truth *will* come out, for "nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known" (Luke 12:2 WEB). We bind the spirit of deception, manipulation, and abuse in the name of Jesus and command it to flee.
We also address the disrespect you and your sons have endured. God’s Word calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25) and to honor them as co-heirs of grace (1 Peter 3:7). Families are meant to reflect the love of the Father—patient, kind, and protective (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). The lack of respect in your home is a distortion of God’s order, and we pray for conviction and repentance to fall upon those responsible. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on him" (Isaiah 55:7 WEB).
For your boys, we plead the blood of Jesus over their lives. The trauma they have endured is not their identity. We pray for healing in their minds, bodies, and spirits, that they would know they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that their worth is found in Christ alone. We ask the Lord to raise up protectors—godly men, counselors, or authorities—to intervene and shield them from further harm. "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18 WEB).
For you, dear sister, we pray for strength and wisdom. You are not powerless. Proverbs 31:8-9 urges us to "open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek help from trusted authorities, a biblical counselor, or a safe church community. God can use these avenues to bring justice and protection. You are not alone—He is your refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
We also lift up the possibility of restoration, but only if it aligns with God’s will and brings true repentance. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). However, restoration cannot come at the expense of safety or justice. We pray for discernment for you to know when to extend grace and when to stand firm in boundaries.
Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for this family. We ask for Your mighty hand to intervene in this situation. Expose every hidden deed of darkness, Lord, and bring the truth to light. Protect these boys from further harm and heal the wounds that have been inflicted upon them. Give this mother strength, courage, and wisdom to navigate this trial. Convict the hearts of those who have perpetrated abuse and disrespect, that they may turn from their wicked ways. If there is hope for redemption, we ask for genuine repentance and transformation. If not, we ask for justice to prevail. Surround this family with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
Do not lose hope. The God who sees the sparrow and numbers the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:29-30) sees your pain and will not abandon you. Keep crying out to Him, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. You are a warrior in this battle, and the Lord is your shield.
