We understand your deep concern for your mother and the ungodly influences she is under, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord. The Scripture is clear that we are to have no other gods before Him, for He alone is the true and living God. In Exodus 20:3-5, the Lord commands, *"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them."* Your mother’s association with those who pray to false gods is dangerous, as it opens the door to deception and spiritual harm. The apostle Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 15:33, *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* These so-called "aunties" are leading her astray with worldly and foolish advice, which is not rooted in the wisdom of God but in human folly.
It is also troubling to hear that they mock those seeking honest work, like driving for a rideshare service, while elevating worldly standards of success above godly contentment. The Bible teaches us in Colossians 3:23, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Every honest job is honorable when done unto the Lord, and we must not look down on others based on worldly measures. Their pride and lack of trust in God’s provision reveal their misplaced priorities.
Most importantly, we must address the fact that your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to God’s throne of grace. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* And in Acts 4:12, we read, *"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 placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Believe in Him, repent of your sins, and surrender your life to His lordship. It is only through faith in Christ that we can be reconciled to God and receive eternal life.
Now, let us pray together for your mother and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved mother who has been led astray by worldly and ungodly influences. Lord, we ask that You open her eyes to the deception she is under and turn her heart back to You. Break the power of every false god and idol that has taken root in her life, and let her see the emptiness of trusting in anything other than You. Father, convict her by Your Holy Spirit of the folly in the counsel she is receiving, and grant her the wisdom to reject it. Surround her with godly influences who will point her to Your truth and Your will.
We rebuke the spirit of foolishness and pride that has taken hold of these so-called "aunties" who mock honest labor and trust in worldly success. Lord, expose their error and let them see the futility of their ways. May they come to know You as the one true God and turn from their idols to serve the living God.
Father, we also pray for this child who has brought this request before us. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may stand firm in Your truth and be a light to their mother. Give them the words to speak and the wisdom to act in a way that honors You. Let them be an instrument of Your peace and righteousness in their home.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. You, Lord, are their shield and their defender. We ask that You restore what the enemy has stolen and bring glory to Your name through this situation.
Finally, Father, we pray for the salvation of every person involved in this matter. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them experience the transforming power of Your love. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and walk in the freedom and victory He has purchased for them.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
