We come before the Lord with you in this season of overwhelming burdens, lifting your heart’s cry to the Father who sees all and knows all. Your struggles are deep—spiritual battles, family strife, physical pain, financial stress, and the weight of motherhood—yet we serve a God who is mighty to save, heal, and deliver. Let us first anchor ourselves in His truth, for without Christ, our prayers are but empty words. You have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, and we must remind you that it is *only* through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today, for apart from Him, there is no true peace, no lasting victory, and no eternal hope. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to reign in every area of your life. This is the foundation upon which all other prayers must stand.
Now, let us address the matters you’ve brought before us, beginning with the spiritual warfare you sense. You are correct to recognize that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but take heart: *"Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The accusations, insults, and toxicity you endure from your mother are not merely human conflicts—they are arrows of the enemy meant to discourage and distract you from God’s purposes. But you are *not* defined by her words or her narcissism. You are defined by Christ, who calls you *"more than a conqueror"* (Romans 8:37). We rebuked the spirits of manipulation, pride, and division at work in this situation, and we declare that the Lord will expose and break every stronghold in your mother’s heart. However, we must also speak truth to you: while you pray for her change, you cannot control her choices. Your responsibility is to honor her as your mother (Exodus 20:12), but that does *not* mean subjecting yourself or your children to abuse. *"If possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB), but when peace is impossible, you must set boundaries for the sake of your family’s well-being. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* If living with her is poisoning your spirit and confusing your children, then it is wise—and biblical—to seek independence. Pray for God’s provision of a home and a car, but also *act* in faith: seek counseling (for yourself and possibly your children), research low-income housing or assistance programs, and trust that the Lord will open doors as you step out in obedience.
As for your children, we praise God for your heart as a mother who seeks to protect and nurture them. The enemy would love to use this division to sow seeds of resentment or insecurity in their young hearts, but we declare that *"the Lord will contend with those who contend with you, and he will save your children"* (Isaiah 49:25, WEB). Teach them to pray, to forgive, and to trust God even when family relationships are broken. And when your mother undermines your authority, remind her—*firmly but respectfully*—that God has entrusted *you* with their upbringing. *"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with a promise: ‘that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.’ Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord"* (Ephesians 6:1-4, WEB). This is *your* God-given role, not hers. If she refuses to respect that, then limiting her influence may be necessary.
Regarding your job and business, we pray that the Lord would align your desires with His will. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). However, we must ask: is your "drink business" something that honors God? If it involves alcohol, we urge you to reconsider, for Scripture warns that *"wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise"* (Proverbs 20:1, WEB). The Bible does not forbid all consumption of alcohol, but it *does* condemn drunkenness and the promotion of substances that can lead to stumbling (Romans 14:21). If your business glorifies God and serves others ethically, then we pray for its success—but if it conflicts with biblical principles, we implore you to seek the Lord’s direction for a different path. As for your job search, we declare that *"the Lord will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand"* (Deuteronomy 28:12, WEB). Ask Him for wisdom in balancing your ambitions with the needs of your children. It is noble to want a career you love, but ensure that your priorities align with God’s: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB).
Lastly, your physical pain and overwhelm are not unseen by the Lord. He is *"the God who heals you"* (Exodus 15:26), and we pray for complete restoration of your knees and your children’s health. But we also encourage you to seek medical care (the MRI you mentioned) and to rest in the truth that *"his grace is sufficient for you, for his power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). You cannot do it all—and you weren’t meant to. Lean on the body of Christ for support. Ask your church for help with rides, meals, or childcare. And when the weight feels crushing, cast your cares on Jesus, *"because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister who is weary, wounded, and warring against the enemy’s schemes. Lord, we ask first that You would draw her into a deeper surrender to Christ, that she may know the fullness of Your salvation and the power of Your name. If she has not yet made Jesus Lord of her life, convict her heart today and lead her to repentance and faith.
Father, we bind every demonic spirit of narcissism, manipulation, pride, and division that has taken root in her mother’s heart. We pray that You would break the strongholds of generational sin and bring her mother to a place of brokenness before You. Soften her heart, Lord, and if it is Your will, lead them both to godly counseling where healing can begin. But even if her mother never changes, we ask that You would give this daughter the strength to set boundaries that honor You and protect her children. Provide a way out, Lord—whether through a home, a car, or a supportive community. Let her know that she is not trapped, for You are the God who sets captives free.
We speak life over her children, Lord. Protect their minds and hearts from the confusion and pain of this season. Let them see Your faithfulness even in the midst of family strife. Give her wisdom as she parents them, and let her words and actions reflect Your love.
Father, we ask for Your provision over her job and business. If these ventures align with Your will, bless them abundantly. But if they do not, redirect her steps and open doors that she cannot even imagine. Give her clarity in her priorities, and help her to release the overwhelm into Your hands. You are the God of order, not chaos. Teach her to rest in You, to seek Your kingdom first, and to trust that You will provide all she needs.
We pray for healing over her body—her knees, her children’s illnesses, and every place where pain has taken hold. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. Let Your healing power flow through her and her little ones.
Finally, Lord, surround her with Your peace. Let her know that she is not fighting alone. Raise up godly friends, mentors, and a church family to stand with her. And when the enemy whispers lies, let her hear Your voice above all else: *"You are my beloved child. I have not forgotten you. I am working all things for your good."*
We declare victory in Jesus’ name, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."* Amen.
Sister, we leave you with this encouragement: *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). Keep seeking Him. Keep trusting Him. And remember—this battle is not yours to fight alone. The Lord is with you, and so are we.
Thank you. I do believe in Jesus as my Savior. My drink line would definitely honor God, and I plan on indicating on my website my belief in Him and Jesus. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
