Stranded

[Anonymous]

I moved away from my hometown multiple times each time finding a better life and purpose. I would then start to miss my family and where I grew up and would convince myself it was safe to return ‘home’. Each time resulted in the same outcome - abandonment, isolation, abuse, poverty and just total hopelessness.

Instead of trusting God for guidance in a moment of weakness I trusted my mother. She convinced me to return home and promised me I would not be stranded as home is in a rural place and that I would be able to work in the house and have a vehicle. Within a week they sell the vehicle and construction crews show up to work everyday for a year. I lose my job bc I have nowhere to work at home, my health starts to decline bc I have no way to get to the doctor and no way to get food or even leave the house. I’m forced into a position of dependency, dependent on people totally indifferent to me. They stranded me in this house without access to people, places or things. They then abuse me for being in the situation I am in and blame me for everything.

I am now stranded out in the country living in my rich godless parents beautiful but cold and empty house. It’s an impossible situation and I don’t know how to get out of it. I can’t have guest, I can’t go anywhere and idk how to even help myself anymore. I have been essentially a prisoner, emotionally and spiritually beaten and I often think of giving up. I feel deceived, manipulated and I am filled with anger and resentment that I wish not carry.

I am at a point where only God can save me. The people I trusted as my family I realize now likely enjoy watching me suffer, struggle and take pleasure in the abuse. I made a horrible mistake getting trapped and I worry I will die here. I am able to work but how do I work when I can’t even leave the property ? They will not help me. I think they like keeping me as a prisoner / house pet and I am genuinely terrified. Their willpower seems to override my own and I need a miracle to be released from this prison. I just need a chance. I am too young to die alone.

We hear your cry for help, and our hearts ache with you in this agonizing situation. You have been betrayed by those who should have protected and loved you, and now you find yourself in a prison—not of walls, but of isolation, manipulation, and despair. The pain of being deceived by your own family is a wound that cuts deep, and the anger and resentment you feel are understandable. Yet we must address this with truth and love, for the enemy seeks to keep you bound in bitterness and fear.

First, we must rebuke the spirit of deception and control that has taken hold in this home. The Bible warns us in Proverbs 26:24-26, *"A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly."* Your parents have broken trust in a profound way, and their actions reveal hearts that are far from God. We declare that their schemes will not stand, for the Lord sees all and will not be mocked. Galatians 6:7 reminds us, *"Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."* Their sin will find them out, and you are not responsible for their choices.

You mentioned feeling like a prisoner, and indeed, this situation mirrors the oppression of the enemy. Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18), and we declare that freedom over you right now. The chains of fear, isolation, and dependency are broken in Jesus' name. You are not meant to live as a slave to their will or their cruelty. Romans 8:15 says, *"For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’"* You are a child of God, not a prisoner, and He has not abandoned you.

We must also address the anger and resentment you carry. These emotions are natural, but they can become a snare if left unchecked. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, *"‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* Holding onto bitterness will only poison your spirit further. We encourage you to release these feelings to God, asking Him to heal your heart and replace resentment with His peace. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right—it means you refuse to let their sin control you any longer.

Now, let us pray for your deliverance and breakthrough:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who is trapped in a situation of cruelty and isolation. Lord, You see her pain, her fear, and her despair. You are the God who hears the cries of the oppressed, and we ask You to move mightily on her behalf. Break every chain of control, manipulation, and abuse in this home. Expose the deception and bring it to light. Father, we declare that she is not a prisoner—she is Your beloved child, and You have plans for her life that include hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Lord, we ask for a miracle. Open a way of escape where there seems to be none. Provide her with the means to leave this place, whether through a job, transportation, or divine intervention. Surround her with people who will speak truth, offer help, and stand with her. Give her the strength to take steps toward freedom, even if they are small. Protect her health, her mind, and her spirit from further harm.

Father, we pray for her parents. Soften their hearts if it is Your will, but if not, we ask that You remove their power to harm her. Let Your justice prevail, and let them see the consequences of their actions. We also pray for healing in her heart—heal the wounds of betrayal, the fear of abandonment, and the anger that threatens to consume her. Fill her with Your peace, Your hope, and Your love.

Lord, we declare that she will not die in this place. You have numbered her days, and they are not yet complete. You have work for her to do, a purpose for her to fulfill, and a life for her to live abundantly. We ask for Your angels to encamp around her, to guard her, and to guide her steps. Give her wisdom to know what to do and the courage to do it.

Above all, we pray that she would draw near to You, Father. Let her find her identity, her worth, and her strength in You alone. Remind her that You are her refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2), and that You will never leave her nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is power in His name, and no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Amen.

You are not alone in this. The Lord is with you, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Start by reaching out to someone—anyone—who can help. If you have access to a phone or the internet, look for local churches, shelters, or organizations that assist those in abusive situations. Even a small step, like contacting a pastor or a helpline, can be the beginning of your escape. The enemy wants you to believe you are powerless, but you are not. You are a child of the Most High God, and He will fight for you.

We also encourage you to meditate on God’s promises. Write down verses that speak to your situation and declare them over your life daily. Here are a few to start:

- *"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1)
- *"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."* (Jeremiah 29:11)
- *"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."* (Psalm 34:17-18)

You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. God sees you, He hears you, and He will rescue you. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not lose hope. Your breakthrough is coming.
