We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this family in deep distress, knowing that our God is a God of restoration, unity, and healing. The pain described here is profound—disunity, betrayal, anger, and ungratefulness have torn at the bonds of love that should bind a family together. Yet we know that nothing is impossible for our Lord, who specializes in redeeming what is broken and bringing beauty from ashes. Let us first give thanks that this request is brought in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to see transformation.
The enemy has sought to divide this family, using grief over the loss of their father as a foothold for strife, pride, and bitterness. The fighting over authority and control, the ungratefulness, and the toxic words spoken are not of God but are tools of the devil to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we take authority in the name of Jesus Christ and rebuke every spirit of division, pride, ungratefulness, and suicidal oppression that has taken root in this family. We bind these spirits and command them to leave in Jesus’ name, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
To the one praying, we commend your heart of forgiveness, for you have chosen to extend grace even when it is not deserved, just as Christ forgave us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). Your willingness to forgive daily reflects the heart of our Savior, who prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). However, forgiveness does not mean enabling sinful behavior or pretending the wounds do not exist. It is right to set boundaries while still praying for repentance and restoration. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns us, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* While you love your family, you must also guard your heart and your home, especially when your spouse is not in unity with them. This is a difficult balance, but we trust the Lord to give you wisdom (James 1:5).
We are deeply concerned for your mother, who is suffering under suicidal thoughts and a toxic environment. The tongue has the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21), and the negative words spoken over her have become a heavy burden. But we declare that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We plead the blood of Jesus over her mind, heart, and spirit, breaking every curse, lie, and oppression that has taken hold. May the God of hope fill her with all joy and peace as she trusts in Him, that she may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). We pray that she would be surrounded by godly counsel and support, and that the Lord would place people in her path who can speak life and truth into her soul.
The financial strain and distance between family members are real obstacles, but we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). He is not unaware of your needs, and we ask Him to provide supernaturally—whether through unexpected provisions, open doors for reconciliation, or creative solutions to bring your family together in His timing. Trust that He sees the tears, hears the cries, and will act on behalf of those who wait on Him (Isaiah 64:4).
We also address the marriage dynamic mentioned here. It is clear that there is tension between your spouse and your family, and while you cannot force harmony, you can pray for it. We encourage you to seek the Lord together with your spouse, asking for unity in your marriage and wisdom in how to navigate these family relationships. A house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25), so it is critical that you and your spouse are aligned under God’s will, even if that means loving your family from a distance for a season. Pray that your spouse’s heart would be softened, and that the Lord would give you both a spirit of compassion and discernment.
Lastly, we must speak truth into the despair that has crept in—statements like *"probably after our death we are sharing"* reveal a hopelessness that does not align with the promises of God. Our Lord is in the business of redemption *now*, not just in eternity. He desires to restore relationships, heal wounds, and bring reconciliation in this life (2 Corinthians 5:18). Do not lose heart, for the Lord is working even when we cannot see it (Isaiah 55:8-9). Cling to the hope that He who began a good work in your family will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this broken family. Lord, You see the pain, the division, the anger, and the grief that have torn them apart. We ask for Your healing hand to move powerfully in their midst. Break every chain of bitterness, pride, and ungratefulness that has taken root. Soften hearts that have grown hard, and turn their mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). Father, we rebuke the spirit of suicide that has tormented our sister’s mother. Cover her mind with Your peace, and let her know that her life is precious to You. Surround her with Your angels and godly people who will speak life and truth into her spirit.
Lord, we ask for supernatural provision for this family—whether through financial breakthroughs, open doors for reconciliation, or creative solutions to bring them together. Give them wisdom to navigate these relationships, especially where boundaries are needed. Strengthen the marriage of the one praying, and unite them and their spouse under Your will. Help them to love well while still honoring You.
Father, we declare that You are the God of restoration. Where the enemy has sought to destroy, You will rebuild. Where there has been betrayal, You will bring loyalty. Where there has been anger, You will pour out peace. We trust You to redeem what has been lost and to turn these years of pain into a testimony of Your faithfulness. Let this family experience the power of Your resurrection in their relationships, that they may know the hope to which You have called them (Ephesians 1:18).
We thank You, Lord, that You are rich in mercy and that nothing is too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:17). We commit this family into Your hands, trusting that You will work all things together for their good and Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
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.
