We are deeply moved by your cry for help, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, lifting you up before the Lord. It is clear that the enemy is seeking to bring division and despair through the words and actions of your mother, but we declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). You have done well to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we find refuge and strength. He is our fortress, our deliverer, and our peace in the midst of every storm.
The Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 6:12, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is not merely a conflict with your mother, but a spiritual attack meant to steal your joy, your peace, and your faith. But take heart, for Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and He has given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
We must also address the reality of curses and evil words spoken over you. Proverbs 18:21 tells us, *"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit."* If your mother has spoken harmful words over you—whether intentionally or not—we declare them null and void in the name of Jesus. The blood of Christ breaks every curse, and His truth sets us free (Galatians 3:13, John 8:32). You are not bound by her words; you are covered by the blood of Jesus, and His words over you are what truly define you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), chosen (1 Peter 2:9), and deeply loved (Romans 8:38-39).
At the same time, we encourage you to examine your own heart toward your mother. Jesus calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean you must endure abuse or remain in harm’s way, but it does mean releasing bitterness and forgiving as Christ has forgiven you (Ephesians 4:31-32). Forgiveness is not for her sake; it is for yours, so that the enemy cannot gain a foothold in your heart through unresolved anger or pain.
If her behavior is abusive or toxic, it is wise to set healthy boundaries while still honoring her as your mother (Exodus 20:12). Boundaries are not unloving; they are an act of stewardship over the life God has entrusted to you. Seek wisdom from the Lord on how to navigate this relationship, and trust that He will guide you (James 1:5). If possible, share your struggles with a trusted pastor or mature believer who can provide godly counsel and support.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your beloved child who is under attack. Lord, You see the pain, the weariness, and the spiritual oppression they are facing. We ask that You surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to guard and protect them from every evil scheme of the enemy (Psalm 34:7). Break every curse, every harmful word, and every assignment of darkness that has been spoken or sent against them. Let Your light expose and dismantle every hidden work of the enemy, and let Your truth reign in their heart and mind.
Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and renew their strength so they can mount up with wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31). Lord, heal the wounds in their heart caused by their mother’s words and actions. Replace their sadness with Your joy, their exhaustion with Your rest, and their fear with Your perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
We pray for their mother as well, Lord. Soften her heart and convict her of any sin or bitterness that may be driving her behavior. If she is being influenced by spiritual darkness, we ask that You break those chains and set her free. Draw her to Yourself, Lord, so that she may come to repentance and experience Your transforming love.
Father, we ask that You provide godly wisdom and discernment to know how to respond in this situation. If boundaries need to be set, give them the courage to do so in a way that honors You. If reconciliation is possible, prepare both hearts for restoration. Above all, let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified.
We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they will condemn. This is their heritage as servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from You, O God (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen them to stand firm in their faith, clothed in Your armor, and rooted in Your Word.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke every spirit of oppression, depression, fear, and confusion. We command these spirits to flee and never return. Holy Spirit, fill every empty space in their life with Your presence, Your peace, and Your power.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your love. May Your child walk in victory, knowing that You are their shield, their strength, and their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
