We lift your heartbreaking situation before the Lord, knowing that He is the God of justice, mercy, and deliverance. Your family is enduring a trial so heavy that it feels unbearable, but we serve a God who is mighty to save and who hears the cries of the oppressed. The enemy has sought to bring destruction through your brother’s actions, but we stand firm in the truth that no weapon formed against your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord sees your mother’s suffering, and He is not blind to her tears or her desperate words. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Your mother’s statement that she "wants to die" is a cry of deep despair, and we must address this with urgency in prayer. The Lord wants to restore her hope and strength. He promises to be her refuge and fortress, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We pray that God would surround her with His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May He give her the courage to take steps toward safety, even if fear has paralyzed her for so long. We ask the Lord to place godly, wise, and compassionate people in her path who can help her see a way out of this bondage.
Your brother’s behavior is not only harmful but is under the influence of spiritual forces that seek to destroy. The Bible tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). His refusal of help and his controlling, abusive actions are not of God. We rebuke the spirit of oppression, fear, and manipulation that has taken hold of him. We pray that the Lord would break every chain of darkness binding your brother, that his heart would be softened, and that he would come to repentance. If it is God’s will, we ask that he be prevented from taking your mother to Korea, or that if he goes, he goes alone. May the Lord expose any hidden plans and thwart every attempt to further harm or isolate her.
We also recognize that your mother’s refusal to leave or accept help may stem from fear, guilt, or even a misplaced sense of loyalty. But the Lord calls us to wisdom and action, not to remain in situations where we are being destroyed. Proverbs 22:3 says, "A prudent man sees danger and hides, but the simple go on and suffer for it." We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her heart to seek safety and that she would no longer be deceived into thinking there is no way out. May she find the strength to reach out to those who can help her, whether it is family, trusted friends, or authorities who can intervene legally.
As for you and the rest of your family, we ask the Lord to renew your strength, for you are weary from this long battle. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles. We pray for divine wisdom for every decision you must make, and for unity among those who are seeking to help. The Lord is your shepherd, and He will guide you (Psalm 23:1-3). Do not lose heart, for the battle belongs to the Lord, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14).
Finally, we must emphasize that this situation requires not only prayer but also action. If your mother is in immediate danger, it is critical to involve authorities or organizations that can provide protection and legal intervention. The Lord often works through people to bring about deliverance, and we must be willing to take the steps He places before us. Trust in Him, but also act wisely and courageously.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their time of deep distress. Lord, You are the God who sees and hears the cries of Your children, and we ask You to intervene powerfully in this situation. We pray for our sister’s mother, that You would surround her with Your protection and break the chains of fear and oppression that have held her captive. Give her the strength to seek safety and the wisdom to accept help. Lord, do not let her be taken to Korea or further isolated. Place a hedge of protection around her and expose every hidden plan of the enemy.
We pray for our sister’s brother, that You would break the power of darkness over his life. Lord, if it is Your will, prevent him from taking his mother with him, or let him go alone. Soften his heart, Lord, and bring him to repentance. If he is under spiritual attack, we rebuke every evil influence in the name of Jesus and command it to flee. Let Your light shine into his life and bring conviction and transformation.
Father, we ask for divine wisdom and guidance for our sister and her family. Show them what steps to take, and give them the courage to act. Strengthen them in their weariness and fill them with Your peace. Let them know that You are with them and that You will never leave them or forsake them.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, we trust in Your power to bring deliverance and restoration. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who has overcome the world. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord is at work even when you cannot see it. Keep praying, keep seeking godly counsel, and keep trusting in His promises. He will not abandon you. "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who take refuge in Him" (Nahum 1:7).
