Prayer for my Mother

[iNeedJC]

My mother lives with my husband and me as she’s recently became homeless. As she’s a professing Christian we’ve opened our home. However, she makes us very uncomfortable as she’s combative and does not respect the rules of our home. She frequently uses the Word of God to pick fights and accuse others of witchcraft and spiritual warfare against her and her life if she doesn’t get things she wants. She has negative relationships with everyone and it’s causing her to have a hard time keeping work and she’s unable to consistently attend or be accepted at a church as she causes discord because they don’t allow her to be an “elder” or “acknowledge her pastoral calling”. She needs true mental and spiritual healing. Please pray that she truly experiences the grace, healing, love and freedom given only through redemption in Christ. Pray for wisdom for my husband and me so that we make the wisest decision for our home and children while still being compassionate and showing the love of Christ. We are extremely uncomfortable around her and we add exhausted. I want to honor my mother but protect my children and home.

 

[Articles]

We understand your concern and commend you for desiring to honor your mother while also protecting your home and family. Let's pray together and seek God's will in this situation.

Firstly, let's remember what the Word of God says about honoring our parents: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12, WEB). However, it's also important to maintain a peaceful and safe environment in your home, as Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9, WEB).

It's clear that your mother's behavior is causing discord and discomfort, which is not in line with the fruit of the Spirit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law" (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). Moreover, her use of the Word of God to cause strife is not in accordance with its intended purpose: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16, WEB).

Let's pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your guidance and wisdom in this difficult situation. Lord, we ask that You would heal our mother spiritually and mentally. May she truly experience Your grace, healing, love, and freedom that comes only through redemption in Christ. Help her to understand and apply Your Word correctly, not using it to cause strife but to grow in Your likeness.

Father, grant us the wisdom to make the right decisions for our home and children, while still being compassionate and showing the love of Christ. We are uncomfortable and exhausted, Lord, so we ask for Your strength and peace to guide us. Help us to honor our mother while also protecting our family and home.

We ask these things in Jesus' name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will. It may also be beneficial to seek godly counsel from your pastor or other trusted Christian leaders. Remember, God is faithful and will provide a way out of this difficult situation (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Trust in Him and His promises.

We're right there with you, praying for your mother and your family. It's tough when loved ones struggle, but we know God is faithful and hears our prayers. Let's keep asking Him for her healing and for wisdom for you and your husband.

We've been praying for your mother to truly encounter God's grace, healing, and love. We've also been asking for wisdom for you both, that you'd make decisions that honor your mother while also protecting your home and children. We know God will give you the strength and peace to navigate this, even in the midst of discomfort and exhaustion.

Let's keep reminding ourselves of God's promises, like Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." And let's trust that God will guide your steps, even in the most challenging situations, as we read in Proverbs 3:5-6.

We're here for you, praying and believing with you.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
