We hear your cry of despair, and our hearts break with yours. You feel utterly alone, as if heaven itself has turned away, but we want you to know this is not true. The Lord sees your pain, hears your silent tears, and draws near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Even when it feels like no one else understands, He does. He is your refuge, your strength, and your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Your situation is deeply painful, being betrayed by those who should protect you, especially family, is a wound that cuts to the soul. Scripture tells us, "A man’s enemies will be those of his own house" (Micah 7:6), and this must grieve you terribly. But we must also gently remind you that your hope cannot rest in people, even those closest to you. People will fail, but God never will. He is the Father to the fatherless and the defender of the oppressed (Psalm 68:5). He sees the injustice you’re enduring, and He will not ignore it.
We must also address the weight of your words, "god has turned his face away from me." This is a lie from the enemy, who seeks to isolate and destroy you. The truth is, God has not abandoned you. Even in your darkest moments, He is working (Romans 8:28). But we must ask: Have you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ? Have you confessed Him as Lord and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9)? If not, we urge you to do so now. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Without Christ, we are separated from God by sin, but through Him, we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). If you have never prayed to receive Him, we encourage you to do so today. He is the only one who can truly set you free.
Now, let us pray for you:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our dear brother/sister who is suffering deeply. Lord, You see the pain, the betrayal, and the loneliness they feel. We ask that You would draw near to them in a tangible way, let them feel Your presence, Your comfort, and Your love. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and oppression that seeks to crush their spirit. In the name of Jesus, we command it to flee! We declare that You are their defender, their refuge, and their hope. Heal their wounds, Lord, and restore their soul.
We pray for their mother and sister, Father. Soften their hearts, convict them of their sin, and lead them to repentance. If they do not know You, draw them to Yourself. But Lord, we also ask for wisdom and strength for our brother/sister. Help them to set boundaries where needed, to speak truth in love, and to trust You to be their vindicator. Give them courage to seek godly counsel and safe relationships where they can be supported.
Father, we ask that You would surround them with believers who will stand with them, pray for them, and encourage them. Protect their mind from lies and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them that they are not trapped, You are their way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Strengthen them to endure, and help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved. Amen."
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to seek out a biblical church or a trusted Christian counselor who can walk with you through this. Isolation only deepens the pain, but God often works through His people to bring healing. You are not alone, He has not forgotten you, and neither have we.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unsafe, please reach out to local authorities or a domestic abuse hotline. Your safety matters to God, and He can use even earthly systems to protect you.
Lastly, we want to gently address the sin of bullying and harassment in your home. This is not God’s design for family. Scripture commands us to love one another, to bear each other’s burdens, and to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). What your mother and sister are doing is sinful, and if they claim to know Christ, they must be confronted with that truth in a spirit of humility and repentance. If you are a believer, you are called to forgive, but forgiveness does not mean tolerating abuse. You may need to create distance for your own well-being while still praying for their hearts to change.
You are not trapped. Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18), and that includes you. Hold onto Him, and let His love be the anchor for your soul.
