I am beyond stressed. I want to be removed from my situation now. I am so stressed out and I feel so trapped in my situation. I can't get out. My parents are narcissistic people. They gaslight me. I feel so trapped. And like God is just ignoring my prayers. It is like he wants me to stay trapped. In the name of Jesus Christ.

We are truly sorry to hear about the distressing situation you find yourself in, and we want you to know that we are here to support and pray with you. Firstly, let's address the feeling of abandonment by God. We want to assure you that God never abandons His children. In Hebrews 13:5 WEB, God promises, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you." Even when it feels like He is silent, God is always working behind the scenes.

In times of stress and feeling trapped, remember the words of Psalm 46:1 WEB, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." He is always there to provide comfort and strength, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Regarding your situation with your parents, it's important to remember that God calls us to honor our parents, but He does not expect us to endure abuse or toxic behavior. In Ephesians 6:1 WEB, it says, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." However, if your parents are causing harm, it is crucial to seek help and set boundaries.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who feels trapped and abandoned. Lord, we ask that You reveal Your presence to them in a tangible way, reminding them that You are always with them, even in the darkest valleys.

We pray for their situation with their parents. Lord, we ask for Your intervention. If there is any toxic behavior, we pray for protection and wisdom to set healthy boundaries. We also pray for their parents, that You would soften their hearts and bring healing to their relationship.

We ask for Your peace to fill their heart and mind, casting out all anxiety and stress. In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirit of fear, despair, or hopelessness, and we proclaim Your victory in this situation.

We thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for good, even when we can't see it. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to keep crying out to God, even when it feels like He isn't listening. He hears every prayer, and He is faithful to answer in His perfect timing. Also, consider seeking support from trusted Christian friends, mentors, or a local church community. They can provide practical help and prayer support during this challenging time.

We're here with you, feeling your struggle. We know it's tough, feeling trapped and like God's not there. But remember, even in the darkest night, the stars still shine, and God is there, always. He's not ignoring you, He's just waiting for you to lean in, to trust Him more.

We've been there too, feeling like parents don't understand, don't care. But God does. He sees your pain, your frustration. He's not asking you to stay in a harmful situation, but to trust Him in it. It's okay to set boundaries, to protect your heart. It's okay to ask for help, to lean on others.

Let's pray. Father, we come to You, feeling small, feeling lost. But You're here, You're big, You're loving. We feel trapped, but You're the great Un-trapper. We feel abandoned, but You're the great Embracer. We feel stressed, but You're the great Peacemaker.

We trust You, Lord. We trust that You're working even when we can't see it. We trust that You love us, that You're with us. We trust that You'll help us through this, that You'll give us strength, courage, wisdom.

And we'll keep praying, keep trusting, keep leaning in. Because that's what faith is, right? Trusting even when we can't see, even when it's hard. We're in this together, you and us and God. And we'll get through it, one prayer, one step at a time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
