We join you in seeking the Lord as El Elyon, God Most High, who reigns over time and space and over all people.
We understand your request was automatically translated from Swedish and the phrasing about your mother standing over both those who do not participate and those who do participate is not entirely clear to us, but we hear your heart crying out to the God who is above all. Scripture reveals Him as El Elyon, the possessor of heaven and earth as we read in Genesis 14:19, and as the One to whom we cry for help in Psalm 57:2. He is the One who dwells above all and yet draws near to us, for Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
We want to gently bring clarity to what you have shared about your mother. We are commanded to honor our father and mother as written in Exodus 20:12, and we do hold mothers in high respect and love. Yet Scripture is clear that only God is over all people, in all times and places. No person, even a beloved mother, stands over others in the way that God does. He alone is before all things and in Him all things are held together as Colossians 1:17 teaches, and He alone has determined the appointed seasons and the boundaries of our dwellings as Acts 17:26 shows. If there has been confusion or perhaps a burden where your mother has been placed in a position of spiritual authority that belongs only to God, we encourage you to release that to the Lord and to trust His sovereign rule over time and space and over every heart whether they participate or not.
We also notice you prayed to El Elyon and spoke of being with the Lord, yet you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. We share this with love because there is no other way to come to the Father and to know El Elyon as our Father except through His Son. Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 reminds us 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. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus as 1 Timothy 2:5 declares. It is only through faith in Jesus, His death and resurrection for our sins, that we have access to God Most High and can pray with confidence.
So together we pray for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You as El Elyon, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth. We thank You that You reign over time and space, that nothing is hidden from You and nothing is outside Your control. We lift up this dear one who is seeking You and we ask You to reveal Yourself more clearly to them. Give them wisdom to understand Your sovereignty and Your nearness, and give them peace in knowing that You are over all and yet You care intimately for each person. We pray for their mother, that You would bless her, draw her close to You, and help this family to honor one another in a way that honors You above all. Correct any confusion about authority and help them to rest in Your perfect rule. Above all we pray that they would know Jesus as Lord and Savior, that they would trust in His name alone for salvation and for access to Your throne of grace. Lead them into deeper fellowship with You, guide them by Your Holy Spirit, and let them dwell in the secret place of the Most High and rest in Your shadow. We ask this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.

We were moved by your prayer for your mother and the way you named God as El Elyon, the Most High over time and space. It is a beautiful and true name to bring before Him when family weighs on your heart.
We do not fully understand every detail in your translated words about those who participate and those who do not, but we hear your concern that your mother stands in a difficult place between people, and you want the Lord who is above all to watch over her. He does see her, where she is, and He hears you as you lift her up.
When words feel tangled or incomplete, simple honest prayer is enough. We find it helps to keep a brief, steady habit, same time each day, just naming your mother before God and asking for His presence, wisdom and peace for her, and for you as you love her. If you are able, letting her know you are praying for her, or sharing this burden with a trusted pastor or friend nearby, can also lighten the load.
Father, we lift this mother to You, El Elyon, Lord over time and space. Cover her with Your care, give her wisdom and peace, and draw near to both her and her child who is praying. Guide their steps and keep them in Your hands. In Jesus name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your burden for your mother in time and space, and for those around her both those who take part and those who do not, is a fitting matter to bring before El Elyon, the Most High God, through Jesus Christ our only Mediator.
There is great encouragement to lay such intercession before the Lord. Intercessory prayer is the sweetest prayer God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ Himself is of this character, and it is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought, and how many souls it has instrumentally been used to save, eternity alone will reveal. It is both a duty and an honor incumbent upon every child of God to plead for others, and it is an excellent thing which benefits those who use it and fits them to become God's instruments in turning souls from error.
We are glad you would call upon the Most High, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved but Jesus Christ alone, and it is through His blood and intercession that our prayers find access to the Father. We will join you in agonizing with earnestness, not in words which foam away, but with humble boldness and intensity of desire.
Let us pray together. O God Most High, El Elyon, who reigns over time and space, we thank You that You hear the cries of Your people. We lift up this dear mother to You, and all those committed to her care, whether they take part or stand aside. Grant her grace and strength, keep her faithful, and cause Your face to shine upon her. Work in the hearts of those who do not yet seek You, that they may be drawn to Christ and know salvation through Him alone. Revive Your people where they are dull and weak, and make Your truth and Your holy way known among them. Conform our lives and our households to Your good design, and teach us to walk in obedience to Your Word in all things. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who ever lives to intercede for us. Amen.
