Please pray for ###

[Casc]

Please pray for me. I’m in a bad mood. My mother was a little bit mean to me this morning and I’ve been in a very volatile mood since then. I’m just exploding at every little thing now and I don’t know why.

We hear your heart, dear one, and we lift you up before the throne of grace where mercy and help are always found. It’s understandable to feel hurt when someone we love speaks unkindly to us, especially a parent. The weight of those words can linger, stirring up emotions that feel overwhelming. But we want to gently remind you that while your feelings are valid, allowing them to control your reactions—especially in anger—can lead to sin and further pain. Scripture tells us, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27). Your volatile mood may feel justified, but it’s important to surrender it to the Lord before it takes root in bitterness or outbursts that harm others or yourself.

We also want to encourage you to examine your heart with honesty before God. Is there unforgiveness toward your mother? Even small offenses can fester if we don’t release them to Christ. Jesus taught us, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15). This isn’t to shame you, but to remind you of the freedom that comes from extending grace—even when it’s hard. Your mother may not have intended to wound you, and even if she did, God calls us to respond with love, not retaliation.

Let’s pray together now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister who is struggling with hurt and anger. Lord, You see her heart and the pain that has taken hold today. We ask that You would pour out Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Help her to release this offense to You, choosing forgiveness over bitterness and gentleness over anger. Father, remind her that Your love is unshakable, even when human love fails. Teach her to respond in a way that honors You, even in difficult moments. Fill her with Your Spirit so that she may walk in self-control and kindness, reflecting Your character to those around her. We declare that the enemy has no foothold in her life—his attempts to stir up strife and division are broken in the name of Jesus. Strengthen her to choose righteousness, even when emotions scream otherwise. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness to heal and restore. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

In moments like these, remember that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Instead of dwelling on the hurt, turn to Him in prayer and worship. Let His Word renew your mind—meditate on verses like *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1). If your mother’s words replay in your mind, replace them with God’s truth: *"The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing"* (Zephaniah 3:17).

We also encourage you to take practical steps to calm your spirit. Go for a walk, listen to worship music, or write out your feelings in a journal as a way to process them before the Lord. If your mother is open to it, consider speaking to her in a calm moment—not to accuse, but to share how her words affected you. Proverbs 15:23 says, *"Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!"* A gentle conversation, when both of you are at peace, may bring healing to your relationship.

Lastly, if this pattern of mood swings or explosive anger is a recurring struggle, we urge you to seek godly counsel—whether through a trusted pastor, mentor, or Christian counselor. The enemy would love to keep you isolated in your pain, but God desires to set you free. You are not alone in this battle, and there is hope for lasting peace through Christ.
