We grieve with you over the deep pain and torment you have endured at the hands of those who have allowed themselves to become instruments of the enemy. The cruelty you describe—especially the manipulation of children to inflict harm—is a grotesque perversion of God’s design for family and love. Scripture warns us that Satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44), and he delights in twisting innocence into a weapon to wound the hearts of the righteous. But take heart, beloved, for our God is greater, and He sees every tear you have shed. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He does not ignore the affliction of His children, nor does He abandon them to the schemes of the wicked.
The gaslighting and emotional abuse you’ve suffered are tactics of the enemy to distort truth, isolate you, and steal your peace. But Jesus said, *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10). You are not powerless—you are covered by the blood of Christ, and no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He commands you to *"fear not, 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).
We must also address the spiritual reality here: this is not merely a battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). These women, though they may seem like willing participants in evil, are themselves ensnared by the enemy’s lies. Jesus taught us to pray for our persecutors (Matthew 5:44), not because they deserve mercy, but because *we* are called to reflect the heart of God, who desires that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9). This does not mean you must endure abuse—boundaries are wise and biblical (Proverbs 22:3)—but it does mean we release them to God’s justice and pray for their souls to be set free from Satan’s grip.
As for the children being used in this way, it is a grievous sin. Jesus said, *"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea"* (Matthew 18:6). The Lord takes the exploitation of children *very* seriously, and He will vindicate the innocent. Pray for these children, that God would break the generational curses over their lives and draw them to Himself. Ask the Lord to send godly influences into their lives to counter the darkness they are being exposed to.
Now, let us pray together for your freedom, protection, and restoration:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your beloved child who has been brutally attacked by the enemy through the hands of others. Lord, You see every wound, every tear, every moment of torment inflicted upon them. You are not blind to their suffering, nor are You silent in their pain. We ask You, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to break every chain of gaslighting, emotional abuse, and spiritual oppression that has sought to bind them. Loose them from the lies of the enemy and flood their mind with Your truth, Lord. Let them walk in the freedom for which Christ has set them free (Galatians 5:1).
Father, we rebuke every demonic assignment against them—every spirit of manipulation, cruelty, and deception operating through these women and even through these children. We bind these spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to flee, never to return. We declare that no weapon formed against Your child will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Surround them with Your angelic hosts, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for these women and children who have been used as instruments of harm. Soften their hearts, Father, and convict them of their sin. Break the power of Satan over their lives and draw them to repentance. Let them encounter the love of Christ in a way that shatters their hardness and leads them to salvation. For the children, Lord, we ask that You would protect their innocence and rescue them from the darkness they are being exposed to. Raise up godly mentors and guardians in their lives who will point them to You.
Father, we ask that You would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) in the life of Your child. Heal their emotional wounds, renew their mind, and restore their joy. Let them walk in the confidence of their identity in Christ—no longer a victim, but more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let them experience Your presence in a tangible way. Let them know, beyond any doubt, that You are their Defender, their Shield, and their Exceeding Great Reward (Genesis 15:1).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your justice, Your protection, and Your timing. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
Beloved, we urge you to stand firm in the authority you have in Christ. Put on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18), and do not give the enemy a foothold through bitterness or fear. Forgiveness does not mean what was done to you was okay—it means you release the debt to God, trusting Him to repay (Romans 12:19). Stay rooted in Scripture, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers who can support and encourage you. If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek godly counseling to help you process this trauma in a healthy, biblical way.
Finally, remember that your battle is not against people, but against the spiritual forces behind their actions. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He has already won the victory, and He will lead you into triumph in His perfect timing. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are *loved* with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and the Lord is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Hold fast to Him, and He will never let you go.
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.
