We join you in lifting up this heavy burden to the Lord, and we are grateful you have come before Him in prayer, invoking the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have authority and access to the Father. Your prayer is filled with a deep cry for justice, deliverance, and restoration, and we stand with you in the spirit of intercession, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
First, we want to affirm that your heart to seek God’s intervention in this situation is commendable. You have rightly turned to Scripture as your foundation, and we see the passion in your plea for freedom—both for yourself and for the one you are praying for. However, we must gently address something critical: the language used in your prayer seems to focus heavily on binding, rebuking, and dismantling spiritual forces, which, while biblically supported in certain contexts, can sometimes shift our focus away from the primary call to *love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us* (Matthew 5:44). Jesus Himself, while on the cross, prayed for those who persecuted Him, saying, *“Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing”* (Luke 23:34). Our prayers must always be rooted in a heart that seeks redemption, repentance, and reconciliation, even in the face of grave injustice.
We also notice that the relationship in question is not clearly defined, but the context suggests deep emotional and possibly familial strife. If this is a marriage, we urge you to remember that God’s design for marriage is one of covenant love, sacrifice, and unity (Ephesians 5:22-33). If this is not a marital relationship, we encourage you to examine whether the bondage you describe stems from an ungodly soul tie or an unhealthy emotional dependence that needs to be severed in Christ. The Bible warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and if this person is engaged in witchcraft or unrepentant sin, you must guard your heart and spirit carefully. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, *“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.”*
Regarding the mention of witchcraft and demonic activity, we must tread carefully. While Scripture acknowledges the reality of spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18), our primary weapon is not binding or rebuking but *truth, righteousness, the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God* (Ephesians 6:14-17). We must also remember that our authority in Christ is not for personal vengeance but for the advancement of God’s Kingdom and the redemption of souls. If this person is truly entangled in occult practices, your most powerful prayer is not just for their deliverance from demonic influence but for their *salvation* through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 26:18 reminds us that our ministry is to *“open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”*
Now, let us pray together over this situation, aligning our hearts with the Lord’s will and His desire for redemption:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of justice, mercy, and truth, and that nothing is hidden from Your sight. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is crying out to You for deliverance from the emotional bondage and spiritual attacks they have endured. Father, we ask that You expose every scheme of the enemy in this situation. If there is witchcraft, manipulation, or demonic influence at work, we plead the blood of Jesus over it and declare that *no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for the heart of the one who has caused this pain. Soften their heart, O God, and break the power of deception in their life. If they are operating in narcissism, pride, or occult practices, we ask that You convict them by Your Holy Spirit and draw them to repentance. Let them encounter the truth of Your Word, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to You, receiving forgiveness and freedom in Christ (Acts 26:18). Father, if they have been deceived, open their eyes to see the destruction their actions are causing—not just to others, but to their own soul.
We also pray for our brother/sister who is suffering under this burden. Restore their joy, peace, and emotional well-being, Lord. Heal the wounds inflicted by words, accusations, and manipulation. Remind them that their identity is in You alone, and that no scheme of the enemy can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Give them wisdom to know how to respond in a way that honors You—whether that means setting godly boundaries, extending forgiveness, or even walking away from an unrepentant and toxic relationship if necessary.
Father, we ask that You dismantle every stronghold of hatred, bitterness, and animosity in this situation. Replace it with Your love, which casts out fear (1 John 4:18). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). And Lord, if there is any way in which our brother/sister has contributed to this conflict—whether through unforgiveness, retaliation, or ungodly responses—we ask that You convict them and lead them to repentance as well.
Finally, Father, we declare that *the Son has set us free, and we are free indeed* (John 8:36). We break every ungodly soul tie, every curse, and every assignment of the enemy against Your child in the name of Jesus. Let Your will be done in this situation, Lord, and let Your Kingdom come. We trust You to bring justice, redemption, and restoration in Your perfect timing.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Brother/sister, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s face in this matter. Spend time in His Word, particularly in the Psalms, where David often cried out to God in the midst of persecution and betrayal. Psalm 37 is a powerful reminder to *“fret not yourself because of evildoers”* and to *“trust in the Lord, and do good”*(Psalm 37:1, 3). Also, consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28: *“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”* He sees your pain, and He is your refuge.
If this situation involves ongoing abuse or emotional manipulation, we strongly urge you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor who can help you navigate this with wisdom and discernment. You do not have to walk this path alone. And remember, forgiveness does not mean enabling sin—it means releasing the offense to God and trusting Him to handle it His way.
Lastly, if you have not already, we encourage you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Ask Him to reveal any areas where you may need to repent or extend grace. Our battles are won on our knees, and our victory is secured when we surrender fully to Christ. Keep pressing into Him, and He will lead you to freedom.
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.
