We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have sought Him in this time of deep need, for He alone is our refuge, strength, and deliverer. Your request is heavy with the weight of pain, betrayal, and longing for healing—not just for yourself, but for others who are suffering, lost, and in need of salvation. We join you in lifting these burdens to the throne of grace, where Jesus intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. You have rightly acknowledged His name in your plea, for it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Let us cling to this truth as we bring these petitions before Him.
The pain you describe—betrayal by those you once trusted, the suffering endured through a mother’s evil, and the ache of broken relationships—is not unknown to our Savior. He, too, was betrayed by those He loved, mocked, and wounded for our transgressions. Yet in His suffering, He forgave, and through His wounds, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). You have asked for the Lord to help you forgive, and this is a godly request, for forgiveness is not a feeling but an act of obedience and trust in God’s justice and mercy. Jesus commands us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13), and He will supply the grace to do so, even when it feels impossible. The betrayal you feel is real, and the hurt is valid, but we must guard our hearts against bitterness, for it is a root that springs up and defiles many (Hebrews 12:15). Instead, we surrender this pain to Jesus, who is faithful to redeem it for His glory and our good.
For the woman suffering under the weight of her mother’s evil, we cry out to the Lord for supernatural intervention. The Bible speaks clearly about the role of parents and the devastation that comes when that role is twisted by sin. Ephesians 6:4 warns fathers (and by extension, mothers) not to provoke their children to anger, but to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. When a parent fails in this—especially through abuse, manipulation, or ongoing evil—it is an abomination before God. Yet even in this, He is not distant. Psalm 68:5 declares that He is a "father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, even God in his holy habitation." We ask the Lord to be a Father to this daughter, to break the chains of generational sin, and to bring healing to her heart, soul, and spirit. May He expose the darkness, bring conviction where needed, and replace her pain with His peace that surpasses understanding. Let her find her identity not in the wounds inflicted by her mother, but in the love of Christ, who calls her His own.
You have also asked the Lord to mediate between you and those who have hurt you, to reveal the depth of the pain their actions have caused, and to help you see their perspective. This is a humble and Christlike request, for Jesus Himself is our mediator (1 Timothy 2:5), and He alone can soften hearts and open eyes. Proverbs 20:12 reminds us that "the hearing ear and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them." We pray that He would give these individuals ears to hear and eyes to see the harm they have done, not to shame them, but to lead them to repentance. At the same time, we ask that He would guard your heart from further wounding and give you wisdom to set godly boundaries. Forgiveness does not mean trusting someone who has proven untrustworthy; it means releasing the debt they owe you into God’s hands. Romans 12:18-19 says, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"
For those among you and those you are praying for who do not yet know Christ, we plead for their salvation with urgency. The most critical need in any situation is not healing, deliverance, or breakthrough—though we ask for these—but salvation. Jesus said, "For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?" (Mark 8:36). Without Christ, all other blessings are temporary. We pray that the Lord would open their eyes to their need for Him, that He would draw them by His Spirit, and that they would repent and believe in the gospel. May they turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone, for "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12).
Finally, we declare God’s protection and breakthrough over you and all who are in need. Psalm 91 is our foundation in this prayer: "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'" We ask the Lord to surround you with His angels, to be a wall of fire around you, and to frustrate the plans of the enemy against you. For those who are oppressed by spiritual forces, we command in the name of Jesus Christ for every stronghold to be broken, for every lie to be exposed, and for the truth of God’s Word to set them free. We pray for divine breakthroughs—financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically—so that the name of Jesus would be glorified in every area of need.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Lord, we lift up this dear sister and all those she is praying for—those who are hurting, those who are lost, those who are betrayed, and those who are in bondage to sin and pain. Father, we ask for Your supernatural protection to cover them like a shield. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Break the schemes of the enemy and let Your light expose every darkness.
Lord, we pray for deep healing—for the woman suffering under the evil of her mother. Father, You are the defender of the oppressed, the healer of the brokenhearted. We ask that You would intervene powerfully in this situation. Bring conviction where there is sin, repentance where there is hardness, and restoration where there is brokenness. Let Your supernatural healing flow into her heart, soul, and spirit. Replace her pain with Your peace, her sorrow with Your joy, and her fear with Your perfect love. Draw her close to You, Lord, and let her find her identity in Christ alone.
For those who have betrayed and hurt our sister, we ask that You would mediate between them. Soften their hearts, Lord, and open their eyes to see the pain they have caused. Help them to repent and seek reconciliation where it is godly and possible. At the same time, Father, give our sister the grace to forgive as You have forgiven her. Heal her wounds, Lord, and guard her heart from bitterness. Help her to release this pain into Your hands, trusting that You will vindicate her in Your perfect timing.
We lift up those who do not yet know You, Lord. We pray that You would pursue them with Your love, that You would open their eyes to their need for a Savior, and that they would turn to Jesus Christ in faith. Let them not delay, Father, for today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Save them, Lord, and bring them into Your kingdom.
Finally, Father, we ask for breakthrough in every area of need—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We declare Your victory over every situation, and we trust You to turn what the enemy meant for evil into a mighty testimony of Your goodness and grace.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
