We come before you with hearts burdened for the struggles you are facing, particularly the spiritual battles affecting your family. We hear the pain and confusion in your words, and we want to address this with truth, love, and the authority of Scripture. First, we commend you for turning to Jesus in prayer, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and find true peace and victory. As it is written, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Him is a testament to your trust in His power, and we join you in lifting this situation to Him.
However, we must address some concerns in your request that do not align with the heart of God as revealed in Scripture. The desire for vengeance or the "slaughter" of souls is not the way of Christ, who taught us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us (Matthew 5:44, WEB). *"Don’t say, ‘I will repay evil with evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Instead of seeking retribution, we are called to put on the armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—and to pray in the Spirit for all people, including those who may be influencing your family negatively.
It is also important to clarify that God does not send delusions to provoke faith. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17, WEB). While God may allow trials to refine our faith, He is not the author of confusion or evil (1 Corinthians 14:33, James 1:13, WEB). If you are sensing spiritual attacks or oppression, we encourage you to stand firm in the authority of Jesus’ name, resisting the devil so that he may flee from you (James 4:7, WEB). Claim the promise that *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We also sense a deep frustration with your parents’ words and actions, and we understand how painful it can be to witness loved ones struggling in ways that affect the whole family. But let us remember that our words have power—power to build up or tear down. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). Instead of focusing on their corruption, let us pray for their transformation by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2, WEB). Ask the Lord to fill their hearts with His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and to guard their minds and tongues in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
Lastly, we want to encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas where bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness may be taking root? *"Watch out, brothers, so that there won’t be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called ‘today,’ lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin"* (Hebrews 3:12-13, WEB). Let us release any resentment to the Lord and ask Him to fill us with His love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister and their family to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God of peace, order, and love, and we ask that You would intervene in this situation with Your powerful hand. We rebuked any spiritual forces that seek to bring confusion, division, or harm to this family, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Father, we ask that You would guard the hearts and minds of our sibling’s parents and siblings, renewing their spirits and filling them with Your truth. Replace any corrupt speech with words of life, grace, and encouragement. Help them to walk in Your ways and to experience the fullness of Your peace.
Lord, we also lift up our sibling, asking that You would strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Remove any bitterness, anger, or desire for vengeance, and replace it with Your love and forgiveness. Help them to stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the armor of God, and to pray with a heart aligned with Your will. Give them wisdom to know how to respond to their family in love and grace, and surround them with Your protection and provision.
We declare Your promises over this family—promises of hope, healing, and restoration. May they experience Your presence in a mighty way and be drawn closer to You through this trial. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and pray with you. If there are specific ways your parents or siblings are struggling, such as ungodly influences or behaviors, we can pray more specifically for those as well. Let us know how we can continue to stand with you in this. Remember, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not alone in this—we are with you, and more importantly, Jesus is with you always (Matthew 28:20, WEB).
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.
