Please pray for God to remove someone out of my life who has targeted me horribly for years with no improvement even when I make efforts for peace. Please pray my mom will stop watching AI videos and my dad as well although it's a big problem with my mom who already is gullible to believing whatever she sees online. She is stubborn and won't listen when we try to show her not to believe certain things. Pray for proper AI regulation and laws around the world. Please also pray about my mom's relationship with my sister. My entire extended family on both sides has abusive patterns. Certain relatives on my mom's side have been trying to cause problems in my immediate family before I was even born. They do this by trying to pit us against each other and this has worked most easily with my oldest sister (who has emotionally abusive tendencies herself). She has a bad relationship with my mom and will often treat me and others in our immediate family badly as well out nowhere. My mom often says that she doesn't understand how her relationship with my sister got so bad but she refuses to see that these relatives are the ones keeping these problems up even though it's obvious. This has all been made worse by the fact that my sister married someone who also likes to sow dissension and has never liked our immediate family and will often plot against us along with these extended relatives to cause us trouble. Thank you.

We join with you in prayer over these heavy burdens you have carried for so long and we bring each one before the Father in the name of Jesus.
We lift up the person who has targeted you for years even as you have sought peace. The Lord sees what has been done and He is our refuge and protector. We pray that God would either bring deep repentance and change to that person's heart or in His wisdom remove their influence from your life and establish clear boundaries and protection around you. We pray for your heart as well, that you would be guarded from bitterness while still walking in wisdom. Jesus taught us to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you Matthew 5:44, and we are also told If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. You have done what you could to pursue peace and now we ask God to be your defender, to heal the wounds from years of targeting, and to give you discernment about when to step back and trust Him as your vindicator. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18 and we ask Him to cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7.
We also bring your parents before the Lord concerning the AI videos and online deception. We understand your concern for your mother who is more gullible and stubborn and will not listen when you try to show her the truth, and for your father as well. Scripture warns us that The simple believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways Proverbs 14:15 and we are told to test the spirits to see whether they are of God 1 John 4:1. We pray that God would open their eyes to what is true and give them a love for truth, that they would set their minds on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure Philippians 4:8 and not be led astray by falsehoods. The truth will make you free John 8:32. We pray for humility and teachability for your mother, for softened hearts in both your parents, and for wisdom for you as you honor your father and your mother Exodus 20:12 while still speaking the truth in love Ephesians 4:15. We ask God to give you patience and gracious words, and to help you know when to speak and when to entrust them to Him, asking Him for wisdom who gives to all liberally and without reproach James 1:5.
We agree with you in praying for proper regulation and laws concerning AI around the world. God has established governing authorities for the good of people Romans 13:1 and we are called to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for all men, for kings and all who are in high places 1 Timothy 2:1-2. We pray that leaders, lawmakers, and those who develop this technology would be given wisdom, integrity, and a fear of God, that they would seek to protect people from deception, exploitation, and harm and promote what is just and truthful.
We also lift up the painful dynamics in your immediate and extended family. We hear how abusive patterns have run through both sides of your family, how relatives on your mother's side have sown division even before you were born by pitting you against each other, and how this has taken hold most strongly with your oldest sister who has shown emotionally abusive tendencies and now with her husband who joins with those relatives in sowing dissension and plotting against your immediate family. This sowing of discord is something God specifically says He hates, one of six things Yahweh hates, yes, seven that are an abomination to him, one being he who sows discord among brothers Proverbs 6:16-19. We pray against that spirit of division and ask God to break these generational patterns. We pray that what has been passed down would be healed by His power, for if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17. We pray for your sister and her husband, that God would convict them of the harm caused by sowing dissension, that they would turn from it and seek reconciliation, and that their marriage would be built on righteousness and peace rather than on opposition to your family. We pray for your mother and sister's relationship, that God would bring understanding, repentance, forgiveness, and healing where there has been confusion and hurt, and that your mother would be given clear eyes to see how these outside influences have kept wounds open. We pray for your whole immediate family to be kept in unity, to let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other Ephesians 4:31-32, while also guarding your hearts with wisdom Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life Proverbs 4:23 and establishing healthy biblical boundaries.
We want to gently point out that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to share why we always pray in His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus, that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. He is our mediator, our hope, and our peace.
So we pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we lift up this dear one and their family to You. Lord, protect them from the one who has targeted them and bring justice and peace according to Your perfect will. Expose deception and give discernment to their mother and father, draw them away from what is false and anchor them in Your truth. Give wisdom to leaders around the world to regulate AI with justice and restraint. Heal the breach between mother and daughter, soften stubborn hearts, break the cycle of abuse and division sown by extended relatives, and convict the sister and her husband where they have sown discord. Let Your peace reign in this home, let forgiveness and truth dwell together, and let this family be restored to honor You. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord daily in His Word, to pursue fellowship with a Bible believing church where you can receive wise counsel and support, and to keep praying with boundaries that honor God while trusting Him to work in hearts that you cannot change on your own. The Lord will fight for you and you shall be still Exodus 14:14.
We lift up the person who has targeted you for years even as you have sought peace. The Lord sees what has been done and He is our refuge and protector. We pray that God would either bring deep repentance and change to that person's heart or in His wisdom remove their influence from your life and establish clear boundaries and protection around you.

We hear how heavy this has been for you, trying for years to make peace with someone who keeps targeting you, while also carrying worry for your mom and dad and the strain between your mom and your sister. When extended family has worked for a long time to pit people against each other, it makes sense that you feel tired and on edge, and that direct efforts to correct what your mom is seeing online have not helped.
One painful part of these family patterns is how they repeat. When relatives sow division, the people closest to each other often end up hurt the most, and it can feel impossible to untangle from the inside. That is not a failure on your part, it is a sign of how entrenched the dynamics are.
A couple of steady steps we have found helpful for others in similar places:
Choose one or two clear boundaries you can keep, like not carrying messages between family members or stepping away when conversations turn to pitting one person against another. You do not have to explain or debate the boundary each time, just keep it calm and consistent.
Identify one trusted person outside the immediate family, a pastor, counselor, or mature friend, to talk with regularly so you are not holding all of this alone and can get perspective on safety and next decisions.
For the AI videos, correction often makes a person more stubborn. Sometimes a gentle, curious question in a calm moment lands better than showing proof in the moment they are watching.
Father, we lift this family to You and ask for Your protection and wisdom. Give discernment and rest to the one writing, guard their heart and home, and bring clarity for their mom and healing where relationships are strained. Lead them to safe support and quiet strength for each day. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your heavy burden has been brought before the Lord and heard with sincere compassion. To be targeted for years without respite, even when you have labored for peace, is a sore trial. To watch those of your own household divided, and to see a mother ensnared by deceit and a sister estranged, while extended kindred sow dissension, is a grief that must drive the soul to the mercy seat.
Hear what the Word declares for such wounded hearts, that there is forgiveness with God, that He may be feared. It is a divine forgiveness, for He says, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. Were all men to withhold their pardon, yet if God forgives, it is enough to enter heaven. It is a surprising forgiveness, so great that the Lord Himself speaks as one amazed that such sins should be remitted. It is a complete forgiveness, as when a creditor cancels the whole debt of one who has nothing to pay. It is a continuous and eternal forgiveness, for He not only forgave at the first but continues daily to forgive, and what He forgives He remembers no more. Where God draws no limit, let not our hearts draw any, for there is forgiveness, broad and full, through Jesus Christ who died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.
In light of this pattern we are called to copy what we have received. Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. This is a joint work of mutual forgiveness among the people of God, and those who have received so much manifest forgiveness will find it most natural to open the hand to forgive others. This does not mean that grievous wrong is counted light, nor that wisdom and needful boundaries are cast aside. David when forgiven felt more deeply the majesty of the divine Word and the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and the soul that is pardoned turns from sin and seeks God's pleasure. To forgive as Christ forgives is to release the debt before God, to refuse bitterness and vengeance, and to overcome evil with good, while still walking in truth and soberness.
We pray with you and for you in these things.
We ask the Lord to give you deliverance from the one who has targeted you, to set a hedge about you, to frustrate every cruel device, and to grant you peace as far as it lieth in you to live peaceably with all men. May He either turn that heart to repentance or remove its power to harm, and keep your own heart from being hardened by long affliction.
We pray for your mother and father, that God would grant discernment and a love of truth, that eyes may be opened to see vanity and falsehood for what it is, and that stubbornness would give way to humility and teachableness. May He guard their minds from every deceitful image and word, and give them a hunger for what is true and wholesome.
We pray for rulers and magistrates, that God would grant wisdom to make just and prudent laws concerning these new and powerful instruments, that they may be used for good and restrained from evil.
We pray for your mother and your sister, and for your whole immediate household. Where patterns of abuse and manipulation have run through generations, we ask the Lord to break that chain by His grace. May He expose the works of those who pit one against another, and give your mother and sister repentant and tender hearts toward one another, and toward you. We pray for your sister's husband, that the Lord would convict him where he sows dissension and turn him from plotting to seeking peace, and that your sister may be delivered from every influence that draws her into harsh and abusive ways.
Take your stand upon this promise and plead it daily, there is forgiveness. Come to God through Jesus Christ and believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself, and then in His strength extend that same forgiveness to those who have wounded you, not with weapons of strife but with love, patience and prayer. Seek godly counsel close at hand, walk in steady truth, and leave vengeance to Him who judges righteously. May the Lord keep you, heal the breaches in your home, and cause His peace which passeth all understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Beloved of All
Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.
Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have heard your request and we bring it before the Lord with sorrow for the long burden you have carried and with thanksgiving that you have sought prayer instead of returning evil for evil.
You ask God to remove one who has targeted you for years without improvement even as you have sought peace. Scripture teaches us that God does not always promise immediate deliverance from hardship, but He does promise to set us above it and to form in us endurance, wisdom and hope of a better life to come. As He permitted trials for the early church and ordered their steps by His providence, so He can use even this long persecution to teach you to stand firm, to love truth, and to look to the immortality of the soul rather than to despair. We pray that God will protect you, give you wise boundaries, grant repentance where it is needed, and either bring that person to repentance or remove their power to harm you. We pray that you will be kept from bitterness and that you will be strengthened to despise the fear of man and to rest in Christ, who Himself became our High Priest to make reconciliation for the sins of His people.
For your mother and father and the hold that deceptive videos have on them, we pray for clear eyes and a discerning heart. It is a subtle trial of our time that falsehood can look like truth on a screen, and that being at peace can itself be a kind of war against the soul when passions and deceits attack like wild beasts. We ask the Lord to give your mother humility to listen, love for truth more than for being right, and a desire for what is real and wholesome. We pray the same for your father. We pray that God will guard your home from division and that He will give wisdom to those who make laws and shape technology around the world, that they would act justly, protect the vulnerable, and restrain what is false and harmful.
For your mother and your sister and the wider family patterns you describe, we grieve the sowing of dissension that has gone on for so long, even before you were born. To pit one against another and to plot in secret is grievous to God, who has put in us the word of reconciliation. We pray that God will expose what is hidden, break the cycle of emotional abuse, and heal what has been torn. We pray for your oldest sister, that God would soften her heart, deliver her from the influence of those who stir up strife, and teach her to treat your immediate family with kindness and respect. We pray for her husband also, that he would turn from sowing dissension and learn to love your family and seek its good. We pray for your mother, that she would see clearly how these influences have harmed her relationship with her daughter, and be given courage and grace to pursue peace without being manipulated. We pray for all your extended relatives, that the Lord would bring conviction where there has been abuse and bring healing where there have been wounds passed from one generation to another.
Let us pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, who alone is our salvation, have mercy on this dear one who has endured long targeting and strife. Set a guard around them and grant them peace that passes understanding. Give them wisdom to pursue peace as far as it depends on them, and courage to set right boundaries. Open the eyes of their mother and father to see what is true and to turn from what deceives. Give leaders and lawmakers wisdom to regulate what needs restraint for the good of all. Heal the breach between mother and daughter, and between all members of this family. Break the patterns of abuse and the work of those who sow division, and sow instead repentance, forgiveness, truth and love. Make this family to be of one mind in You, and prepare each heart in this time of quiet to stand faithful should harder trials come, looking to the better resurrection You have promised. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our hope and our peace. Amen.
Continue to walk with the Lord, remain in His Word, and seek the counsel and support of faithful believers near you who can know you, pray with you, and help you bear these burdens with wisdom.

It is a subtle trial of our time that falsehood can look like truth on a screen, and that being at peace can itself be a kind of war against the soul when passions and deceits attack like wild beasts. We ask the Lord to give your mother humility to listen, love for truth more than for being right, and a desire for what is real and wholesome. We pray the same for your father. We pray that God will guard your home from division and that He will give wisdom to those who make laws and shape technology around the world, that they would act justly, protect the vulnerable, and restrain what is false and harmful.
For your mother and your sister and the wider family patterns you describe, we grieve the sowing of dissension that has gone on for so long, even before you were born. To pit one against another and to plot in secret is grievous to God, who has put in us the word of reconciliation. We pray that God will expose what is hidden, break the cycle of emotional abuse, and heal what has been torn. We pray for your oldest sister, that God would soften her heart, deliver her from the influence of those who stir up strife, and teach her to treat your immediate family with kindness and respect. We pray for her husband also, that he would turn from sowing dissension and learn to love your family and seek its good. We pray for your mother, that she would see clearly how these influences have harmed her relationship with her daughter, and be given courage and grace to pursue peace without being manipulated. We pray for all your extended relatives, that the Lord would bring conviction where there has been abuse and bring healing where there have been wounds passed from one generation to another.
Let us pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, who alone is our salvation, have mercy on this dear one who has endured long targeting and strife. Set a guard around them and grant them peace that passes understanding. Give them wisdom to pursue peace as far as it depends on them, and courage to set right boundaries. Open the eyes of their mother and father to see what is true and to turn from what deceives. Give leaders and lawmakers wisdom to regulate what needs restraint for the good of all. Heal the breach between mother and daughter, and between all members of this family. Break the patterns of abuse and the work of those who sow division, and sow instead repentance, forgiveness, truth and love. Make this family to be of one mind in You, and prepare each heart in this time of quiet to stand faithful should harder trials come, looking to the better resurrection You have promised. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our hope and our peace. Amen.
Continue to walk with the Lord, remain in His Word, and seek the counsel and support of faithful believers near you who can know you, pray with you, and help you bear these burdens with wisdom.
