Please pray for me about this: I have posted before about having concerns about my piano teacher that caused me to want to end my lessons with her a few months ago. At the time, it also seemed that I no longer had time in my schedule for the lessons and kept running into conflicting scheduling problems while trying to keep the lessons going. Those concerns seemed to be resolved in recent months though. Many of these concerns centered around spiritual warfare that has been targeting me for many years (mainly by using people to do unusually harmful things to me) using her. She is a believer though. She is elderly and I believe also has a medical condition that might possibly affect her mood so that's another possibility for why her behavior was sometimes the way it was toward me. Either way, these issues seemed to be resolved until today. Last week, I accidentally missed my lesson with her because I was caring for my niece and lost track of time. She texted me at the beginning of the time the lesson was supposed to be and I realized what had happened (it was only a minute or so into the time of the lesson so I quickly rescheduled). I was very apologetic and sorry that this had happened. We rescheduled the lesson for today. At the end of the lesson, she was very rude to me about having missed the previous lesson (my niece was also in the room and heard everything she was saying to me; she knew at the beginning of the lesson that my niece was in the room, maybe she forgot). I am currently on my cycle, and when I am, the enemy attacks me harder with the warfare I just mentioned due to me having a medical condition that makes my cycles worse which he takes advantage of. These attacks during my cycle had decreased but maybe are still continuing in some way. I believe that may have something to do with her behavior toward me today. Either way, I'm now once again reconsidering continuing these lessons again. Please pray for me about this. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the weight of spiritual warfare you’ve been carrying for so long. It’s clear this situation has brought you distress, and we want to stand with you in prayer and truth. First, we must acknowledge that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he often uses people, even believers, to sow discord, confusion, and hurt. But we also know that God is greater than any scheme of the devil (1 John 4:4), and He can bring clarity, healing, and restoration where the enemy intends harm.
The way your piano teacher spoke to you today, especially in front of your niece, was not reflective of the kindness and patience that Scripture calls us to extend to one another (Ephesians 4:29-32). Even if she was frustrated or dealing with her own struggles, her words should have been seasoned with grace. We must also consider whether there is a pattern here, whether her behavior has been consistently ungodly or if this was an isolated incident. If this is part of a larger issue, it may be wise to prayerfully reconsider whether this is a relationship God wants you to continue, especially if it’s causing you ongoing spiritual or emotional harm.
We also want to gently address the spiritual warfare you’ve mentioned. While it’s true that the enemy can use people to attack us, we must be careful not to attribute every negative interaction to demonic influence, as that can lead to fear or an unhealthy perspective on others. Sometimes, people simply act out of their own sin, weakness, or brokenness. That doesn’t excuse their behavior, but it does remind us to pray for them as well. James 1:19-20 says, "So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God." If her anger was unjustified, it’s not producing godliness in her or in the situation.
Your mention of your cycle and the enemy’s attacks during that time is also something we want to address with care. While it’s true that the enemy can exploit our physical or emotional vulnerabilities, we must not give him more credit than he’s due. God is sovereign over every season of our lives, including the difficult ones. Psalm 34:18-19 reminds 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 powerless in this. You have the authority in Christ to resist the devil (James 4:7), and you can declare God’s truth over your body, mind, and circumstances.
Now, let’s pray for you and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved and through which we have access to You. Lord, we lift up this sister to You, knowing that You see every detail of her life and every struggle she faces. We ask that You would give her wisdom and discernment in this situation with her piano teacher. If this is a relationship You want her to continue, we pray for healing, restoration, and godly communication between them. If it is not, we ask that You would make that clear to her and give her the courage to walk away in peace.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of confusion, fear, or offense that may be trying to take root in her heart. We declare that she is covered by the blood of Jesus and that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for her physical and emotional well-being, especially during this time of her cycle. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen her body, calm her emotions, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We also pray for her piano teacher, that You would soften her heart, reveal any areas of ungodliness in her life, and draw her closer to You. If there is any spiritual warfare at play, we command it to cease in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we ask that You would surround this sister with godly community, people who will speak truth into her life, pray with her, and encourage her. Help her to fix her eyes on You, the author and perfecter of her faith (Hebrews 12:2), and not on the circumstances or the enemy’s lies. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may walk in boldness, wisdom, and grace. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Lord, and we trust You to work all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in the Psalms, which are filled with cries for help and declarations of God’s faithfulness. Psalm 91 is a powerful reminder of God’s protection, and Psalm 139 reminds us that He knows us intimately and is always with us. You are not alone in this battle. Lean on Him, and trust that He will guide your steps. If you feel led to end the lessons, do so with grace and without guilt, knowing that God honors your desire to walk in peace. If you feel led to continue, ask Him to give you a heart of forgiveness and to help you set healthy boundaries.
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that our access to God and our victory over the enemy comes only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can come boldly before God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus or if you’re unsure, we encourage you to prayerfully consider what it means to place your faith in Him. It is the most important decision you will ever make. Romans 10:9 says, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." If you’d like to talk more about this, we’re here to walk with you.

We hear your struggle and want you to know we’re lifting you up in prayer right now. It sounds like this situation has stirred up a lot of emotions and left you questioning what to do next, and we’re here to stand with you in that. What weighs on us most is that your teacher’s words today felt so harsh, especially in front of your niece, that’s not the way God calls us to treat one another. At the same time, we know people can act out of their own pain or weariness, even when they love the Lord, and that doesn’t excuse the hurt it causes.
We’re praying for clarity in your heart about whether to continue the lessons. If the Lord leads you to walk away, we ask He would give you peace in that decision. If He leads you to stay, we pray for a fresh touch of grace between you two, that conversations would be seasoned with kindness and understanding. And through it all, we’re asking the Lord to guard your heart from offense or discouragement, that you’d feel His presence surrounding you, especially during this difficult season.
Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, asking for wisdom for our sister. If there’s any lingering spiritual attack tied to these circumstances, we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Heal any wounds in her heart, renew her strength, and fill her with Your peace that goes beyond what she can explain. Protect her mind and emotions, especially during this time of her cycle when she feels so vulnerable. And if there’s anything You want to reveal to her about this relationship, whether it’s about boundaries, forgiveness, or even walking away, we ask for Your clear leading.
Jesus, we thank You that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You are working all things for our good. Surround her with godly counsel and encouragement, and help her to rest in Your love no matter what she decides. In Your mighty name we pray.
