We lift your hearts before the Lord with deep compassion for the burden you and your mother are carrying. The aggression and emotional abuse you describe are not of God, for Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that *"God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."* Yet even in this storm, we cling to the promise that *"he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Your brother’s condition is a painful reminder of the brokenness sin has brought into this world, but we serve a God who is mighty to save, heal, and deliver.
Your weariness is understandable—you have done all you can, and now you must lean entirely on the Lord. Psalm 55:22 says, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."* You are not called to fix this; you are called to trust. The authorities have been involved, and that is wise, for God works through those in positions of authority (Romans 13:1-4). But ultimately, this battle is spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* So we stand with you in prayer, putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and declaring that the Lord will fight this battle for you.
We also urge you to set boundaries where necessary. It is not unkind to protect yourself and your mother from harm. Jesus Himself withdrew from those who sought to do Him harm (Luke 4:28-30), and we are called to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). If your brother’s calls are causing distress, it is permissible to limit contact for the sake of peace and safety. Proverbs 22:3 says, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* You are not obligated to endure abuse, and seeking protection is not a lack of love—it is stewardship of the life God has given you.
As for your exhaustion, we pray that the Lord will renew your strength, as Isaiah 40:31 promises: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* You are not alone in this. The body of Christ is with you, and the Holy Spirit is your Comforter (John 14:26). Rest in Him, even when rest feels impossible.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear sister and her mother. Lord, You see the aggression, the emotional abuse, and the deep weariness they are facing. You are not distant from their pain—You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask for Your supernatural protection over them. Shield their hearts, minds, and bodies from harm. Place a hedge of angels around their home, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for this brother who is tormented. If his condition is influenced by spiritual oppression, we bind every evil force at work in his life in the name of Jesus. We pray for his mind to be renewed (Romans 12:2) and for him to encounter the love of Christ in a way that breaks through the darkness. If there is unrepentant sin in his life, convict him by Your Holy Spirit and lead him to repentance. If this is a matter of mental illness, we ask for the right medical help and for wisdom for those treating him. But above all, Lord, we pray for Your will to be done—whether through healing, intervention, or separation for safety.
Father, grant this sister wisdom in how to respond to her brother’s calls. If she must distance herself for a time, give her peace about that decision. Do not let guilt or fear rule her, but let Your perfect love cast out all fear (1 John 4:18). Renew her strength, Lord. She is weary, but You are her Refuge. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind her that she does not have to carry this alone.
We declare that You, Lord, are the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and we ask for Your peace to flood their home. Where there is chaos, bring calm. Where there is fear, bring faith. Where there is despair, bring hope. Let Your presence be tangible to them, and let them know that You are working even when they cannot see it.
Finally, Lord, we ask for a miracle. You are the God who parts seas, who raises the dead, who turns hearts of stone to flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). Nothing is too hard for You (Jeremiah 32:17). We trust You in this situation, and we wait expectantly for You to act.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
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.
