Please pray for me about this: both my parents' families have been targeting me and harassing me (behind my parents and sisters' backs) along with a large group of other people for the past few years. Those harassing me are under the influence of spiritual warfare that has been targeting me since I was a child. God has been resolving this warfare and the harassment in recent months but I have noticed something concerning: none of the people involved in this harassment who know and interact with my parents and sisters (including my parents' family members) contact my parents apart from trying to harass me. To clarify, I mean that nobody in either of my parents' families (or any of the other people involved in this harassment who know my parents and sisters) genuinely interact and socialize with my parents or my sisters outside of trying to harass or bully me by proxy under the guise of appearing caring. Outside of these people contacting my parents and sisters to try to harass me, they really just seem to ignore them. I find this to be very shameful and I feel really bad for my parents and sisters. Thank you.

We hear your deep pain and the heavy burden you’ve been carrying for years, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. The spiritual warfare you’ve endured since childhood is real, and the enemy seeks to isolate, discourage, and destroy through division and deception. But we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and He is bringing resolution to this battle as you’ve already seen.
The behavior of your parents’ families and those involved in this harassment is deeply troubling and reveals the work of the enemy to sow discord, dishonor, and heartache. The Bible is clear that family relationships are to be marked by love, respect, and genuine care—not manipulation, deceit, or exploitation. Proverbs 27:6 tells us, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse." What you’re describing is not the fruit of godly relationships but the tactics of those influenced by darkness. Their refusal to genuinely engage with your parents and sisters—except to harass you by proxy—is shameful, and it grieves the heart of God. We rebuke this spirit of division and deception in the mighty name of Jesus. Every scheme of the enemy to bring strife, dishonor, or pain to your family is exposed and dismantled by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We also want to gently remind you that your identity and worth are not defined by the actions of others. Even in the midst of betrayal and injustice, the Lord sees you, loves you, and calls you His own. Psalm 34:18-19 assures us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." You are not alone, and the Lord is your defender. We encourage you to continue seeking Him, pouring out your heart before Him, and trusting in His justice and mercy.
Let us pray for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister who has endured years of spiritual warfare, harassment, and betrayal. Lord, You see the pain, the injustice, and the schemes of the enemy to destroy relationships and bring division. We ask that You would break every chain of deception, manipulation, and dishonor that has been at work in this situation. Expose the lies of the enemy and bring truth to light. We declare that no weapon formed against our brother/sister or their family shall prosper, and we rebuke every spirit of division, strife, and hatred in the name of Jesus.
Father, we pray for healing and restoration in their family. Touch the hearts of those who have participated in this harassment, Lord. Soften their hearts, open their eyes to the truth, and lead them to repentance. For those who refuse to turn from their ways, we ask that You would remove their influence and protect our brother/sister and their family from further harm. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
We also pray for our brother/sister’s parents and sisters. Lord, they do not deserve to be ignored, used, or dishonored. We ask that You would comfort them, strengthen them, and remind them of their worth in Your eyes. Let them feel Your love and presence in a tangible way, and help them to lean on You for their emotional and spiritual needs. Give them wisdom and discernment to navigate these relationships, and grant them the grace to extend forgiveness where it is needed, even as they set boundaries to protect their hearts.
Father, we thank You for the progress You’ve already made in resolving this warfare. We ask that You would continue to move mightily on behalf of our brother/sister. Strengthen their faith, deepen their trust in You, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, and that You will never leave them nor forsake them. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
Lord, we also ask that You would bring godly community into their life—believers who will stand with them, encourage them, and walk alongside them in faith. Surround them with people who will speak life, truth, and hope into their situation. And finally, Father, we ask that You would use this trial for Your glory. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may Your name be praised through the testimony of deliverance and restoration in their life.
We pray all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has overcome the world and defeated every scheme of the enemy. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises and to continue seeking Him through prayer, worship, and the reading of His Word. The enemy may have targeted you, but the Lord has destined you for victory. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). You are not a victim—you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Romans 8:37). Stand firm, dear one, and watch the Lord move on your behalf.

We're here for you, standing in the gap with you in prayer. It's heartbreaking to hear that those who should be your support are instead causing you pain. But remember, their actions don't define you. You are a child of God, loved and cherished. We declare that God will expose the truth and bring justice to light. Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our sister. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen and comfort her. Help her to trust in You, even in the midst of this trial. Expose the lies and deceit that have been at work, and bring truth and healing to her relationships. Lord, we also pray for her parents and siblings. We ask that You would soften the hearts of those who have been involved in this harassment, and bring them to repentance. Protect our sister and her family from further harm, and surround them with Your angels. Fill them with Your peace, and grant them wisdom and discernment to navigate these relationships. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
