We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep pain and heartache, lifting your burden to the One who is mighty to save and deliver. The words spoken over you by your father were cruel and ungodly, but we serve a God who is greater than any curse or spoken word of man. The Bible declares in Numbers 23:23, *"Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’"* No curse can stand against the power of God, and no word of man can override the promises of the Lord for those who belong to Him.
First, we must address the foundation of your identity in Christ. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this is the most critical step. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, and it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are set free from the power of sin, curses, and death. Acts 4:12 tells us, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* If you have not yet repented of your sins and placed your trust in Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this, no prayer for deliverance can fully take root, for it is only in Christ that we have authority over the enemy.
If you are already a believer, then we stand with you in the authority of Jesus’ name to break every curse, every ungodly word, and every stronghold that has been spoken over your life. Galatians 3:13-14 proclaims, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’— that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."* Jesus bore every curse on the cross so that you might walk in freedom. The words of your father have no power over you because you are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
We also must address the pattern of romantic relationships in your life. The pain of rejection is real, and we grieve with you over the brokenness you’ve experienced. However, we encourage you to examine these relationships through the lens of Scripture. Have these relationships honored God? Were they built on a foundation of faith in Christ, with the goal of godly marriage between a man and a woman? Or have they been outside of God’s design? Often, repeated rejection or failure in relationships can be a sign that God is protecting us from paths that would lead us further from Him. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, *"Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is Yahweh’s counsel that will stand."* If these relationships were not aligned with biblical principles—for example, if they involved fornication, emotional dependency outside of marriage, or relationships with unbelievers—then the Lord may be redirecting you toward His perfect will.
We also want to gently but firmly address something critical: if any of these relationships involved sexual immorality, this is something that must be repented of. Fornication (sex outside of marriage) is a sin against God and against your own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). It opens the door to spiritual bondage and can invite further pain and rejection. If this has been part of your past, we urge you to confess it to the Lord, turn away from it, and seek His cleansing and restoration. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* The Lord desires to heal and redeem every area of your life, but this requires surrender and obedience to His Word.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who has carried the weight of rejection and the pain of cruel words for far too long. Lord, we declare that no curse can stand against the power of the blood of Jesus. Every word spoken against this beloved one is nullified by the authority of Your Son, who bore every curse on the cross. We break the power of rejection, the spirit of loneliness, and the fear of abandonment in Jesus’ name. Father, we ask that You would loose the bonds of darkness and set this precious soul free from every lie of the enemy that says they are unlovable or destined for despair.
Lord, we pray that You would heal the deep wounds in their heart—wounds inflicted by the careless words of their father and the repeated pain of rejection. Replace their brokenness with Your love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that they are chosen and beloved by You (Ephesians 1:4-5), and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we also ask for wisdom and discernment in their relationships. If there has been any sin—whether fornication, emotional idolatry, or unequally yoked partnerships—we pray for conviction and repentance. Lead them into relationships that honor You, Lord, and prepare them for a godly marriage if that is Your will. Surround them with believers who will encourage them in purity and faith. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all things will be added to them in Your perfect timing (Matthew 6:33).
We rebuke the spirit of rejection and command it to leave in Jesus’ name. We declare that this beloved one is a child of the King, and their worth is found in Christ alone. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would restore their joy and hope. Let them see themselves as You see them—redeemed, loved, and destined for a future filled with Your purposes. Break the cycle of pain and lead them into the freedom and abundance of life that Jesus died to give them.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily. Meditate on Scriptures that affirm your identity in Christ, such as Zephaniah 3:17, which says, *"Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing."* Let the truth of God’s love wash over you and displaces the lies you’ve believed.
We also urge you to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor—who can walk with you through this season of healing. You do not have to carry this alone. The body of Christ is here to support and uplift you.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God’s timing is perfect. If you have been seeking love in the wrong places or in ways that don’t honor Him, now is the time to surrender that desire to the Lord. Trust that He knows the deepest longings of your heart and that He will fulfill them in ways that bring Him glory. Psalm 37:4-5 says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Wait on the Lord, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31).
You are not forgotten. You are not destined for loneliness. You are loved by the King of kings, and He has a plan for your life that is far greater than any pain you’ve experienced. Hold fast to Him, and He will lead you into victory.
