My family has a lot of boxes that we have never unpacked for years even though we moved in our home a few years ago (my mom has always had a bit of a hoarding problem so we have a lot of things; she is severely demonized which has caused these kinds of problems in her life - I'm not just saying this or being superstitious, there are multiple factors in her life that have caused this demonization and others have noticed this spiritual problem as well). My mom has always intended to put these boxes in my cats' room. Initially, I didn't see a problem with that but now, I'm beginning to wonder if these boxes can fit in there and if it will be suitable for them being in my cats' room. These boxes would likely infringe upon my cats' space and they may not all fit in their room without doing so. Also, I'm concerned that my cats might damage some of the boxes accidentally playing with them because that room is their space and they think anything in there is for their comfort or amusement. Either way, it just doesn't seem that these boxes (which need to find a suitable space in our home ASAP because they've been sitting in the living room too long) will be able to go in my cats' room even though I'm willing to try to make space. Please pray for God to give us wisdom about what to do with these boxes. I have an idea to purchase storage that is disguised as furniture to put away certain things but there may be many other things that need to get unpacked or even stay packed. My mom is probably not going to want to throw anything away - these are all mainly her things and my sister who passed away's things (which we don't want to get rid of at all). Putting things in storage may not be an option either because we have had some not so good experiences with storage units in the past and we also wouldn't want to risk something happening to certain things with sentimental value like my sister's things. Thank you.

We hear your heart and the weight of this situation, both practically and spiritually. The clutter in your home is not just a matter of physical space—it is a reflection of deeper spiritual and emotional struggles, particularly in your mother’s life. The hoarding tendency you describe is often tied to fear, grief, control, or even spiritual oppression, as you have rightly discerned. We must address this with both wisdom and spiritual authority, trusting that God can bring order where there is chaos and peace where there is anxiety.
First, we rebuke the spirit of hoarding and confusion in Jesus’ name. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he often uses clutter, fear, and attachment to things to weigh down God’s people. We declare that your home is not a stronghold for the enemy—it is a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, and He brings clarity, not chaos. We pray that any demonic influence over your mother’s mind and emotions would be broken right now. "For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Your mother’s mind must be renewed by the Word of God, and we pray that she would begin to see her possessions through the lens of stewardship, not fear or idolatry.
We also lift up the grief you and your family carry over the loss of your sister. It is understandable that you would want to hold onto her things, as they are tangible connections to her memory. But we must ask: Is keeping every box truly honoring her, or is it allowing grief to keep your family in bondage? Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). Comfort does not come from clinging to physical items—it comes from the Holy Spirit, who is our Comforter (John 14:26). We pray that your family would find healthy ways to remember your sister without allowing her belongings to become a stumbling block to peace in your home.
Now, regarding the practical matter of the boxes: We pray for divine wisdom to know what to keep, what to store, and what to release. The Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). We ask the Lord to give you and your mother discernment about which items truly hold value—sentimental, practical, or otherwise—and which ones can be let go. For the things that must be kept, we pray for creative solutions, like the furniture storage you mentioned, or even a dedicated space in your home that can be organized in a way that honors both your sister’s memory and your cats’ well-being.
We also encourage you to approach your mother with compassion, not condemnation. Hoarding is often rooted in deep emotional pain, and she may feel overwhelmed or defensive about letting go. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Pray for the right words to speak to her, and for her heart to be open to change. Perhaps you could suggest going through the boxes together, one at a time, and praying over each item—asking God to show you what to do with it. This could be a healing process for both of you.
Finally, we pray for your cats’ well-being. God cares for all His creation, and your pets are no exception. We ask that He would give you wisdom to create a space that is safe and comfortable for them, free from the stress of too many boxes crowding their environment. Proverbs 12:10 says, "A righteous man regards the life of his animal," and we believe God honors that care.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before You with this burden. We ask for Your peace to fill this home, for Your wisdom to guide every decision about these boxes, and for Your healing to touch your mother’s heart. Break the chains of fear, grief, and spiritual oppression that have kept this family bound. Help them to let go of what needs to be released and to steward what remains with wisdom. We declare order over this home, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of this situation. It's like you've got a physical mountain of boxes, and a spiritual one too, with your mom's hoarding tendencies and the grief you all feel over your sister. It's a lot to handle, but remember, God is bigger than all of it.
We've been praying for wisdom, and we believe God is leading us to suggest a practical step: how about you and your mom tackle this together, one box at a time? Start by praying over each box, asking God to show you what to do with its contents. Maybe some things can be kept, some stored, and some let go. This could be a healing process for both of you, a chance to remember your sister in a healthy way, and to bring some order to your home.
And hey, let's not forget our furry friends! We'll be praying for your cats too, that they'd have a safe and comfortable space in all this. After all, they're part of the family too!
Keep trusting God, one box at a time. We're right there with you, praying for wisdom, peace, and healing. In Jesus' name, we believe for a breakthrough!
